Three Gorges Museum

Chongqing Top 2 in Must-Visit Museums

Absolutely must visit museum for someone who is interested in Chinese history and culture. This museum has astonishing artifacts not only from ancient times (starting from neolithic cultures and Xia and Shang dynasties), but also even from XX century (with mindblowing exhibits, ex. peasant's hat made from paper money), explaining prerequisites for economic success of modern China.

I enjoyed this museum. There were several permanent galleries plus a few rotating ones. It took maybe 3 or 3.5 hours to visit it all. There is a good exhibit about ethnic groups in Southwest China including nice displays of garments. Also visit the main gallery discussing the history of the Three Gorges and the people who lived there. Some of the sculptures there were quite nice. Entrance is free but you need your passport.

"Walk into the Bashu Culture and Pass on Chinese Civilization" Every time I go to a city, a country, as long as there are representative museums in the local area, I will definitely set aside time to go at least once. If the Great Hall of the People of Chongqing is the landmark building of Chongqing in the 1950s, then the Three Gorges Museum of China will be the landmark building of Chongqing in the early 21st century, a Yao Ming inlaid in the heart of Chongqing, a mountain city in the landscape garden. Since it has a name "Three Gorges", it must be related to it, the Yangtze River Three Gorges is the most powerful and rich man on the earth, the great river canyon. It is a magnificent and profound landscape, and it is the symbol of the beautiful Yangtze River. It is the most colorful movement of Yangtze River civilization with its long and heavy history. Here you can see the formation of the Three Gorges, the construction of the Three Gorges Dam and other history.

☘️The last stop of the trip to Chongqing must be your beloved museum. ☘️Visit for free, swipe your ID card to enter. Bags can be stored on the left and right sides of the entrance. ☘️I still like the way of exhibitions that reproduce scenes. From ancient times to the present, it’s eloquent, with clear layers, clear logic, vivid and interesting, and impressive. ☘️The most impressive thing in the photo exhibition is a photo titled "Lifu". After observing for a long time, I don’t know how the passengers in the back row get into the seats. It looks dangerous and the risk factor is also high. It’s really puzzling. . ☘️The Hongyan reading corner is the exhibition area that made my dad's eyes shine brightly. My dad pointed to the little books (comic) and said happily that he had a whole set when he was a child, which he collected slowly. ☘️A bucket is hung on both ends of a pole, and the water carrier pulls the rope that fixes the bucket with his left and right hands, and his right foot straddles the time to make a step upward. Looking at the long and narrow stone steps, it forms the classic Chaotianmen scene in Chongqing.
