Gulangyu Foreign Cultural Museum of the Forbidden City Review

Since the end of September this year, Xiamen's tourist year Cardo has three free-access attractions, one of which is the Gulangyu Foreign Cultural Relics Museum of the Palace Museum. The museum is located at the site of the former Salvation Hospital, not far from the Sanqiudian Wharf, which is about five minutes'walk from Sanqiudian Wharf. Maybe it's just the reason of opening up. Its popularity is not high. The quiet environment inside the museum contrasts sharply with the noisy Gulangyu outside. Overall Situation: As the first branch of the Palace Museum in Beijing, most of the exhibits were transported from the Palace Museum. It is said that they were originally placed in the warehouse of the Palace Museum. Although the size of the Palace Museum is far less than that of Beijing, there are not many visitors to the museum, but there is no sentiment. Tickets and security check: The original price of the ticket is 50 yuan, and you can enter free of charge with the annual travel card. Before entering the museum, large bags, small bags and liquid items must be deposited. With the ticket stubs, you can borrow a small interpreter. Listening to the introduction of the interpreter can better understand the cultural relics. Pavilion layout: The Museum retains the original style and layout of the Salvation Hospital. The visiting area is not large. It is located in a building. The first and second floors are the exhibition area, and the third floor is the cafe. If visitors buy the tickets at full price, they can enjoy a cup of coffee free of charge. The exhibits in the museum are mainly scientific and technological articles, porcelain, daily necessities, furnishings, jade and other cultural relics. Most of the cultural relics were purchased from abroad or donated by foreigners in that year. There is a Chinese-Western style. It is said that this is the treasure of the town hall. It is located in the center of the first floor. The golden appearance, exquisite workmanship and huge appearance make people feel very expensive. In addition, there is a projection hall which plays dynamic images in the tube, so that people can better understand the Forbidden City through scientific and technological means. On the one hand, we have a better understanding of the history of the Qing Dynasty, on the other hand, we are shocked by the exquisite and atmospheric cultural relics, and at the same time, we also realize the luxury and corruption of the court life. Attention: 1. Photographs can be taken in the library, but no flash can be turned on. 2. There are many security guards in the pavilion. If you don't know the tour route, you can consult the security guards. 3. The air-conditioning temperature in the library is low. If you are afraid of the cold, you should take an extra coat. 4. It is suggested that the tour should last for one hour and be cleared at 4:30 p.m., so we should arrange the time carefully. Generally speaking, the museum is also worth seeing, and it is also worth being able to feel the customs of the Palace Museum at close range in Xiamen.
