If you can't make a reservation for Shaanxi History Museum, come here and you'll still feast your eyes!
Nowadays, it's getting harder and harder to book a ticket for the Shaanxi History Museum, so let me recommend this museum—the Shaanxi Archaeological Museum.
It is the first archaeological museum in China that took ten years to prepare, housing over 200,000 cultural relics unearthed from sites and tombs dating back to the Paleolithic Age, covering various historical periods.
The museum's important collections include a small bronze pot from the Spring and Autumn period Ruiguo site, used for holding men's skincare powder or cream (photo 4), the tomb epitaph of Luo Wanshun, the Twenty-Eight Mansions chart, and many more. Among them, you'll find numerous adorable and durable bronze, pottery, and clay artifacts.
If you can't book a visit to the Shaanxi History Museum, coming here will still be a visual feast, and compared to the visiting lineup at the Shaanxi History Museum, it's relatively quieter here, at least there's no need to queue 😄.

The archaeological museum is very worth going. When we went, the narrator was Li Leping. He was very professional and meticulous. The three-hour explanation was still not enough. Later, Xi'an will come to the archaeological museum to see if the cultural relics have been added.
Teacher Xiao Qin's in-depth explanation is very delicate, very vivid and interesting. The archaeological museum has a small flow of people and can carefully view the cultural relics. After the explanation, it is recommended to visit a circle. Much better than the people in Shaanxi Libo.
Fortunately, I met Mr. Hou to explain that Shaanxi Libo did not make an appointment to consider the archaeological museum, there are few people comfortable, except for a little far away. At about 13:30, Mr. Hou was very patient, historical professional, rich knowledge reserve, listened too much input, and did not pay attention to the closing time, only to end in a hurry.
You can arrive early and take a look at it yourself. Teacher Heavy Rain said super good, I feel that the money is very worth it, the teacher's attitude is good, and the speech is super fun. Especially satisfied. Children also like it very much.
It is worth going, the museum is very new, contemporary art and retro style pearls combine architecture, perspective layout, distant view of the big equipment, close look exquisite, the collection here is not true or false, only new (replica) old. Everything about this place, the explanations in the VCR in the museum are deeper and more penetrating, more literary and artistic, which makes my words poor. The museum has seen a lot, and here brings me a brand new experience, fashion, high-end, civilized, avant-garde these seem to be not very apt to archaeological visual impact. There is no patchwork and overlap of fragmented time here, only the history of the clouds and flowing water, seamlessly connecting the traditions and culture of one vein. Dynamic viewing of the scene. The whole main feeling is: very warm. This is the whole archaeological system and fruitful hall, the more I look at it, the more I look at it, the more I feel shocked, there is no extra emotion. Archaeological scientists here, cultural relics restoration experts, all unsung heroes and unpretentious staff who are sensitive to words and deeds, have a lifetime of work in taking on the responsibility of history, deeply intersecting with the ancients, talking to the creators of these cultural relics, with the wrinkles of the rings, The hands of the sky and the loyalty and love for the archaeological cause, have worked hard day and night to restore and restore these once shining, magnificent, and clever artistic heritage, so that the primitive human beings and modern civilization 155,000 years ago continued, ran to win time, warm the four seasons. It shows the rise and fall of every stone age and dynasty, spiraling and wavy. Never fixed and never stopped. My warmth comes from the fact that I touch, see, smell, hear, and so long, deeply and deeply underground and ill-fated artifacts, under the co-construction of archaeological science and technology, advanced exploration equipment, and Chinese and foreign scholars, and at times this great era and such craftsman spirit. With great relief, it seems to be calling the people of the world: "N0, in addition to the Palace Museum, there is me, there is me. This is it, here it is." They see the sky and even give out stronger vitality and charisma. I think these ancient sages, emperors will be the same, cloth clothes, can work and craftsmen, underground knowledge, even after the knowledge, even after the knowledge, will be a smile and no regrets. Let our people also talk about comfort, very reassuring.
I was about two people last Thursday, and the result was only two of us that day, which was simply a VIP feeling. Teacher Hou began with the palace map in the hall, without stopping, and without any mouthfuls. From the first exhibition hall on the first floor to the third floor, the dry goods for more than three hours, from the perspective of archaeology, let me this history fan learn a lot of knowledge, got a lot of edification, Really a senior teacher, great 👍 Shaanxi Archaeological Museum is very low-key, in fact, the collection of national treasure-level weight cultural relics is also a lot, the pieces are exquisite, can be comparable to the cultural relics of Shaanxi Libo, I strongly recommend that you stay for half a day to give here!
Shaanxi Archaeological Museum, although far away, the Shaanxi History Museum is too difficult to make an appointment, so this trip to Xi'an first chose the remote archaeological museum, unexpectedly feel very good, especially the appointment of Mr. Hou's explanation is particularly excellent. The teacher explained the feelings of two children and our adults, strong interaction, high interest, deep and shallow, all knowledge is rambling, friends of all sizes are interested. I have been to many museums, this is the first time I have been meticulous and patient from beginning to end. It is very friendly to people like me who like history, archaeology, and children. Unlike other museums, which are simply displaying cultural relics, Archaeology Bo shows the history of archaeology in a unique way, and has benefited a lot. Mr. Hou is humble, polite and knowledgeable. The three hours really have a very good experience.
In 2022, the newly opened museum will be opened for external services, professional archaeological museums, and the layout of the exhibits has its unique professional logic. Of course, there are no shortage of precious special exhibits for the first time. The three-story five museums have been visited, and a lot of knowledge has been gained. Teacher Zhang, who is responsible for explaining, loves archaeology, knowledge is comprehensive, and comes as a spring breeze.
