周杰伦的123456:“The staff were all very helpful and patient, very safety-conscious. They checked everyone individually, and afterward, they checked to see if anyone had left anything behind.
You can't enjoy all the nightlife, so it's best to stay all day, as waiting in line wastes a lot of time.”

M24***32:“The museum is mainly about the Northern Dynasties, and there are many exquisite pottery figurines. The statues exhibited in the square from the museum gate to the main entrance are all famous pottery figurines of the museum, especially the camel at the door, which was unearthed from the tomb of Princess Ruru. The museum also made a cute camel plush toy called Luo Xiaobei, which is very cute. The museum has a dedicated parking lot, but it is not large and there are not many parking spaces. You can just swipe your ID card to enter the gate. There are not many tourists here, no reservation is required, and the visiting experience is particularly good. The order of visiting is first the first floor, then the second floor, and then the next floor to continue the visit. The second floor to the first floor simulates the tomb passage, which is quite unique.”
M43***51:“I have wanted to come here for a long time. The children had a lot of fun. The environment here is also very good. I will bring my children here in the future. My family also said that it was a good place to play. Let's come back next time.”

Anonymous user:“A reminder: children also need tickets! But there are no half-price tickets for children on Ctrip! So, it's pretty useless. If you bring your children and book adult tickets online, you'll have to go to the ticket counter to buy child tickets. Also, some e-tickets need to be exchanged for paper tickets. It feels really low-brow! The entire scenic area doesn't have many artifacts, which is probably due to Cao Cao's frugal nature. You still have to hire a guide, otherwise it's just a waste of time!”
Shin泡泡:“The plum blossoms in Cizhou Ink Garden are in bloom, and the feeling of spring is everywhere. The Ink Garden is relatively close to the city, and it can be reached in less than an hour by car. It is a good place to spend leisure time on weekends. When it rains, it really feels like a landscape painting!”

好男人:“If you come to Handan, you have to go to Xiangtang Mountain, which is divided into North Xiangtang Mountain and South Xiangtang Mountain. It costs about 100 yuan to take a Didi in Handan City. There are paper tickets for buying tickets at the door. I also bought a sightseeing bus on a hot day for 110 yuan per person. There are basically no people. You can reach the grottoes in a few steps after getting off the bus. There are three large grottoes in total. It doesn’t take long to take a circle and take pictures. There is a lighted hall downstairs, where stamps and commemorative coins are sold. The whole journey takes about 2.5 hours. Commemorative coins are 35, commemorative coupons are 35, and there is no other consumption except buying some water.”
M36***31:“My kids have been fascinated by the Yinxu Oracle Bone Inscriptions. They've been taking various classes every winter and summer. Now that the Gaokao is over, we're finally free and can schedule a trip. There's a free guide throughout the entire trip, and my mom had a blast, haha. 😄
In front of the museum, the names of the Shang emperors are engraved on the ground. I only recognize one: King Zhou Di Xin. 😁😁”

SUNSHINE ONUS:“The Yinxu Museum, a renowned museum of oracle bone inscriptions from the Shang Dynasty, is located in Anyang, Henan Province. It is China's first national-level museum dedicated to a comprehensive exhibition of Shang civilization. Built within the World Cultural Heritage site of Yinxu, it has become a globally renowned cultural landmark. Key features include:
- Exploring Shang Civilization: Tracing the century-long history of Yinxu archaeology, from the discovery of oracle bone inscriptions to the application of modern archaeological techniques, it showcases how generations of archaeologists awakened the dynasty after a 3,000-year slumber.
- The Great Shang Civilization: As the core exhibition hall, it comprehensively showcases the Shang Dynasty's remarkable achievements in politics, military affairs, agriculture, handicrafts, writing, and capital city construction. Visitors can closely admire:
- The Simu Xin Ding: A significant bronze vessel unearthed from Fu Hao's tomb in 1976, its inscription bears witness to the legendary queen's supreme status.
- The Yachang Oxen Zun: The only ox-shaped bronze zun ever found, featuring intricate and exquisite ornamentation, it represents the pinnacle of Shang Dynasty bronze art. - 23 Shang Dynasty chariots: Specimens of China's earliest chariots, displayed in a matrix format, recreate the magnificent spectacle of "chariots rumbling, horses neighing."
- Shang Civilization of the World: This exhibition places Shang civilization in a global perspective, juxtaposing it with contemporary civilizations such as ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, revealing its unique position in the history of human civilization.”
可乐的小黑猫:“Walking into the Cizhou Kiln Museum, it feels like traveling through a thousand years. This is the largest ceramic museum in northern China. The exhibition in the museum is themed "The Art of Black and White", showing the fine porcelains of the Cizhou Kiln from the Northern Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Walking through the exhibition hall, the porcelain with black flowers on white background is particularly eye-catching. Its unique decorative technique perfectly combines Chinese painting with ceramic craftsmanship, showing a simple and bold artistic style. The museum also has an interactive experience area where visitors can make pottery by hand and feel the charm of the thousand-year kiln fire.”

飞鱼20161211:“The mountain is not too high, and if you don't take the shuttle bus, you should be able to finish the tour in one morning. The main attraction is the grotto on the mountain, which is also one of the three royal grottoes.”
