A Trip to Tianshui Mala Tang∣Chengji Museum, Truly Astonishing!

👍 Most Recommended: Chengji Museum, a private museum established by the famous collector Mr. Zhang Youping, located right next to the Nanguo Temple archway. ❤ Reason for Recommendation: After visiting Nanguo Temple, I felt there was still some time left, so I decided to check out Chengji Museum. Honestly, I didn't have high expectations, thinking that as a private museum, it probably wouldn't have anything too surprising. But to my amazement, there were numerous overseas returned and auctioned collections inside, incredibly exquisite and stunning! Just as I entered the exhibition hall, I saw a newly hired guide demonstrating their explanation skills to the museum staff (probably an assessment), which was so lucky! So I didn't need to hire a guide. Honestly, the explanation was quite good. Through the guide, I got a detailed understanding of the exhibits and the history and origins of each treasure. This trip was really worth it! 📍 Attraction Address: Third step of the Nanguo Temple mountain gate, Xihuang Avenue, Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province 🚗 Attraction Transportation: This location is easy to find, located just below Nanguo Temple. You can see it as soon as you enter the Nanshan Scenic Area gate! It's very convenient to take bus No. 80 🚌 or a taxi in the city. Refer to my Nanguo Temple travel photos for specifics. 👍️ Must-See Exhibits: Wooden Buddha statues, Tang Dynasty stone-carved Buddha heads, Spring and Autumn period gilded bronze chime bells (the gilding is very thick, almost like gold leaf, shining brightly), Han Dynasty jade cicadas, Tang Dynasty court ladies, polo girls, horse-riding generals, gilded Buddha hats, gemstone phoenix crowns, dragon heads, long-necked pots, phoenix bird statues, various animal shapes, pure gold auspicious beasts, gold-plated carriage accessories, large dragon-shaped bronze ware, bronze tripods, and authentic works of Qi Baishi... The quantity and quality are comparable to the National Museum, absolutely beautiful! After appreciating each piece in detail, I realized it was already noon and the museum was closing, so I reluctantly left. I will definitely visit again if I have the chance. 🎟️ Ticket Information: Free admission with reservation, enter with ID card 💗 Other Tips: Chengji Museum is a private museum, closed from 12:00 to 14:00, similar to regular working hours. Please plan your visit accordingly.
