Chongqing Three Gorges Museum

The introduction to the Three Gorges' nature and the Three Gorges Water Conservancy Project is quite authoritative. I've been seeing too much bronze recently, so I only visited the Chongqing Urban Construction Theme Hall, which introduced the development and changes of Chongqing since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was quite good. I also have to say that the cultural and creative products around this museum are beautiful, especially the jelly bag, clutch, and shoulder bag with bronze facial makeup.

Located on the central axis of the Chongqing People's Auditorium, the five-story museum boasts an exhibition area of 23,225 square meters. The main building is imposing and profound. Aside from its facade, which forms a trinity with People's Square and the Great Hall, the rest of the building follows the topography and blends seamlessly with the mountain. The combination of elevation differences and the enclosed and semi-enclosed nature of the building creates a landscape themed on mountains and waters. The gently shifting volumes appear to have been carved and grown from the mountain. The "Three Gorges Circular Screen Digital Film" uses high-tech cinematic techniques to depict the natural scenery and cultural customs of the Three Gorges before the reservoir was filled, creating a lasting commemoration of the pre-Three Gorges Project era. Performances are held three times daily at 10:30, 14:30, and 15:30, each lasting approximately 22 minutes.

The museum has four floors. The first floor houses "The Magnificent Three Gorges," divided into four sections: "The Creation of the Three Gorges," "Between Mountains and Rivers," "The Eternal Three Gorges," and a wraparound cinema. The exhibition meticulously depicts the journey of the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges, their history and culture, the Three Gorges' contents, climate, flora and fauna, and the lives of the people living near them. The exhibition hall also features a large collection of artifacts from the Three Gorges Reservoir, authentically recreating the original appearance of the Three Gorges.

There are two short films that you must watch: the "Three Gorges" circular screen film, which is about 20 minutes long and can be watched while standing, and the "Chongqing Bombing" film, which can be watched while sitting and waiting in line.

The Three Gorges Museum is very large and it may take a whole day to explore it carefully. With Xiaoxiao, who has a limp, we took a leisurely tour and took a quick look around.

The lighting in the museum is very good, and the exhibition is very user-friendly. The seals are equipped with magnifying glasses to see the words engraved on them. I can't tell what the names of the various cultural relics are, but I can always imagine the majestic appearance of the time, because even now I can see it with a luxurious and awe-inspiring power.

The first floor opens with "The Magnificent Three Gorges," divided into four sections: "The Creation of the Three Gorges," "Between Mountains and Rivers," "The Eternal Three Gorges," and a wraparound cinema. This exhibition meticulously details the journey of the Yangtze River and the Three Gorges, their history and culture, the Three Gorges' landscapes, climate, flora and fauna, and the lives of the people living near them.

The exhibition hall features a rich collection of artifacts from the Three Gorges Reservoir, authentically recreating its original appearance. A dome screen showcases the magnificent scenery of the Three Gorges, including the treacherous rapids and steep cliffs of the turbulent Qutang River, the Xiling Gorge, and the stunning Wu Gorge, with its deep, steep cliffs and winding 40-kilometer-long river. For a more detailed exploration, the first floor alone could easily occupy half a day.

The second floor's "Ancient Ba and Yu" tells the story of Daxi culture, the activities of the Ba people, the development of pottery and bronze, the progress of art and dance, and the lives of the people through the three time periods of the Paleolithic Age, the Neolithic Age, and the Bronze Age, and the discovery of the earliest East Asian humans, the Wushan people and the Yuxi site. It deeply analyzes the historical changes of the Ba-Chu civilization!

On the second floor, the Chongqing City Road charts the city's evolution, from the Zhou Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and from the Ba Kingdom to the Republic of China. Historic buildings recreate the city's wartime history, heroic stories, and its development as a temporary capital. They also showcase some of the lingering shops from the Republican era, such as the hot pot restaurants that are so common in Chongqing. The third and fourth floors feature exhibitions of coins, calligraphy, and pottery from various dynasties. What really captivated me was the giant copper coin at the entrance!

Of course, the exhibition hall has several temporary exhibition halls, including one I really like: a memorial exhibition dedicated to Mr. Yu Guangzhong: Eternal Nostalgia! As a child, nostalgia was a stamp, a boat ticket, and a sentiment he cherished! Tired of wandering around the halls, I sat down to watch a screening of an early CCTV interview with him. Mr. Yu was not only talented in writing but also very humorous, reminiscing about his own upbringing. . .

The museum is a must-see in almost every city, so today we decided to visit it. It seemed to be under renovations and covered with green cloth, which was a shame, so we only got to admire it from a distance. It's quite magnificent, with a touch of ethnic charm. There was also a special exhibit on ancient Egypt... but it was crowded, so we didn't get to see the explanations. A museum is a place with so much depth and artistic atmosphere, so you should just explore and experience it on your own.

Chongqing has a rich modern history. Its role as a major rear base during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Chongqing negotiations between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party offer a wealth of fascinating stories. A friend recommended the Three Gorges Museum, also known as the Chongqing Museum, which tells the city's history and is worth a visit. The other temporary exhibitions are also quite interesting and could take an entire afternoon to explore.

I can’t see the true face of Mount Lu because I am in it! When it was first built, I took old colleagues from my unit to see it. Years later, I discovered the treasures here. There is no end to the treasures here!

Free, reference time 2.5 hours

A national first-class museum, it is a comprehensive museum that integrates the collection, protection, research, display and dissemination of "Baiyu culture, Three Gorges culture, rear area anti-Japanese war culture, immigration culture and united front culture".

I didn't have time to visit all of them, so I just picked out the highlights. I feel that this museum could also be called the Chongqing Museum, which mainly focuses on the history of Chongqing and the Three Gorges.

The Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum is one of the first national first-class museums, a national museum jointly established by the central and local governments. Located in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, it faces the Chongqing Great Hall of the People. Its predecessor was the Southwest Museum, established in March 1951. The Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum, along with the Great Hall of the People and People's Square, forms a four-dimensional "trinity" effect.

The People's Square is built around the Great Hall. It is Chongqing's municipal, cultural and leisure square. It is integrated with the Three Gorges Museum opposite, becoming a landmark place for tourism and reception in Chongqing.

On the day we went there, the area around the Great Hall was fenced off, probably in preparation for the upcoming 70th anniversary of the National Day, so we were unable to go in; and the Three Gorges Museum opposite did not seem to be the main purpose of our visit for my friend and me, after all, it was a bit deep, so we checked in and took photos and then set off for the next attraction.

I highly recommend this place. Every floor is filled with surprises. Plus, there's a screening room and shopping area, so you can learn something new and find something special. It's a great place for families to visit together, as the many things inside will delight children and spark their interest in learning history. No entrance fee is required; just swipe your ID card. However, be aware of the museum's opening and closing times, as well as Monday closures.

The Chongqing Three Gorges Museum was formerly the Chongqing Municipal Museum. However, due to the construction of the Three Gorges Dam, many areas near the Three Gorges were flooded. To accommodate the historical relics of these areas and showcase the original cultural assets of the old Three Gorges, the Municipal Museum was expanded and renamed the Chongqing Three Gorges Museum.

The main exhibition contents include three large exhibition halls: the Magnificent Three Gorges, the Ancient Bayu, and the Han Dynasty Sculptures.

The former focuses on the collection of cultural relics excavated from the Three Gorges area; the Ba Gu Yu covers the ancient civilizations that emerged in this area from the Neolithic Age and introduces the ancient Ba Gu civilization; and the Han Dynasty Sculpture includes many stone carvings, tomb objects, and ancient pottery from the Western Han and Eastern Han dynasties.

A visit to the Three Gorges Museum is a fantastic way to get to know the Chongqing region. The museum, overlooking the Chongqing People's Auditorium, is immediately striking, as the grandeur of the building itself catches the eye. Ascending the stairs, the museum's distinct interior reveals distinct levels and halls, each with its own unique character. A visit to Chongqing's cultural history will truly astound you.

The Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum is located on the central axis of the Chongqing People's Auditorium. The total land area of the main project is 2.9316 hectares. The main structure is 157.3 meters long and 98.085 meters wide. The total building height above the ground is 25.2 meters. It has 5 floors. The museum covers an area of 30,000 square meters, a construction area of 42,500 square meters, and an exhibition hall area of 23,225 square meters. It is a Class A high-rise building, of which the underground floor is a cultural relics warehouse, garage, and equipment room, and the above-ground 4 floors are exhibition halls, lecture halls, and management auxiliary rooms.

In July 2008, the China Three Gorges Museum Scenic Area in Yuzhong District, Chongqing was officially approved by the National Tourism Administration as a national AAAA-level scenic spot.

The Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum houses more than just cultural relics related to the Three Gorges. Among its numerous collections, unearthed artifacts are renowned for their Bashu cultural relics, including Han Dynasty brick reliefs, portraits, and stone pottery figurines from Sichuan, as well as relics from the Ruiling Mausoleum of Ming Yuzhen, the founding emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty during the late Yuan Dynasty. Among its collections of handed-down artifacts, a systematic collection includes paintings and calligraphy by renowned artists from the Song Dynasty onwards, porcelain from renowned kilns throughout history, purple clay pottery from the Ming and Qing dynasties, coins from various dynasties, inscriptions and calligraphy from various dynasties, jades, bamboo, wood, ivory, and bone artifacts, silk, and cultural relics from southwestern ethnic groups. The museum's collection of modern and contemporary artifacts is also rich and distinctive, vividly depicting important historical events in Sichuan and Chongqing, including the Taiping Rebellion, the Chongqing Incident, the opening of the port, the Sichuan Tongmenghui, the Sichuan underground CCP, the temporary capital during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, and the main battlefields. The museum also carefully selects important representative objects and representative folk crafts from across Sichuan to vividly portray the realities of life for people of all ethnic groups in its exhibitions.

It would probably take a whole day to read it slowly. It is a place where emoticons are produced.

The first choice for understanding Chongqing's history, especially its modern and contemporary history

The museum in each city is a good place for you to fully understand the city. It is said that this is one of the three largest museums in China.

It's a really good place to learn. It's so big that it takes half a day to walk around and several days to see it carefully.

Because the hotel was booked nearby, I visited the Great Hall of the People and the Three Gorges Museum after getting up in the morning. There was no need to come just to check in, as it was very close to Zhongshan 4th Road.

The Three Gorges Museum and the Great Hall of the People are together. For someone like me who has no artistic talent, walking in is just a quick tour.

The Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum is located on the central axis of the Chongqing People's Auditorium. The total land area of the main project of the China Three Gorges Museum is 2.9316 hectares. The building is magnificent and profound in connotation. It maintains a trinity with the People's Square and the People's Auditorium, becoming a symbol of Chongqing's urban culture, a window into urban civilization and a business card of the city's spirit.

It mainly displays archaeological findings from the construction of the Three Gorges Project, including some ancient terracotta warriors and Han Dynasty ques that are very impressive.

You can avoid the heat in Chongqing and spend 2-3 hours here to see the history and culture related to Chongqing and the Three Gorges. It's still good.

The museum is a dual-building complex, the Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum and the Chongqing Museum. Lighters are not permitted during the museum security check, so please remove your cell phone and other electronic devices during the check.

We visited two exhibition halls and stayed inside for about an hour and a half... Then we browsed around the cultural and creative industries and bought some souvenirs, and before we knew it, it was already past two o'clock.

However, the overall exhibits are really rich, you can calm down and take a good look~

There is a locker on the left side of the first floor

After visiting the Chongqing People's Auditorium, I also visited the Three Gorges Museum, which is located directly across from the museum and very close to it. Admission is free, but like all museums nationwide, it's closed on Mondays, so if you're planning a trip, avoid Mondays. The museum is quite large, spanning four floors, and the exhibits are extensive, covering the construction of the Three Gorges, Chongqing's history, and traditional Bashu culture. It's quite a sight to behold.

The most important thing not to miss is the several scheduled performances in the museum:

The "Three Gorges" circular screen movie will be shown at 10:30, 14:30, and 15:30 (standing viewing, about 20 minutes);

The "Chongqing Bombing" video will be screened at 10:00, 15:00, and 16:00 (no tickets required, just queue up to watch)

I saw both shows, but I felt that The Bombing was better, but that's just my personal opinion. If you have time, you should go see both.

The collection is very rich, with a total of 4 floors, and it is worth spending half a day.

My favorite section is the magnificent Three Gorges section on the first floor. From the introduction of the ancient Three Gorges' landforms, rocks, and creatures to the construction of the Three Gorges Hydropower Station, the displays in the museum are very detailed and interesting. The bronze and sculpture sections are similar to those in ordinary museums.

A great way to get to know the Three Gorges. It systematically explains the history, construction, and resettlement of the Three Gorges. An hour is enough to complete the tour.

I happened to come across an exhibition of Sanxingdui artifacts while visiting the museum. Time has passed, people have passed away, and only the rust-covered artifacts remain, silently demonstrating the wisdom and strength of the Bayu people of yesteryear.

The Three Gorges Museum is vast, with numerous exhibition halls. A thorough exploration of each would take about three hours. Due to time constraints, we only visited the "Ancient Ba-Yu," "Memories of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression," and "The Magnificent Three Gorges" exhibition halls. We learned a lot, learning about many new ritual vessels and understanding the unique ancient art of decorating vessels—inlaid gold and silver—which involves engraving patterns on the surface and then filling the grooves with gold and silver thread.

What a great decorative craft this is!

Once again I feel the pride of being a descendant of the Chinese nation.

The circular film in the museum is shown at 10:30 and 14:30. It is a documentary about the development of various counties and cities in Chongqing. The Three Gorges Museum has four floors. It takes a long time to walk through the whole floor, but it is worth it. I have a better understanding of the culture and history of the Three Gorges Chongqing area.

The best place to learn about Chongqing's history~~~~~~

Opposite the Great Hall of the People, it has fewer collections than the Shaanxi Museum

You have to queue up at the Three Gorges Museum, but it's okay because it's big enough to accommodate many people.

And rainy days are also suitable for such indoor games.

I like the dome of the staircase there

Looking at those objects, I feel like I've traveled through time.

Worth watching, especially the circular screen movie

It was a Monday when we arrived and the Three Gorges Museum was closed. Even if it were open, we wouldn't have had time to visit.

The museum has a full range of audio, visual, and physical displays, and the service is excellent. Although it is free, if you have time, you must go. It has three floors and a lot of content, so you can spend 2 to 3 hours there. It closes on Mondays and is open as usual on holidays.

It is just opposite the Great Hall. You have to go through security check when entering. I recommend visiting the exhibition hall on the first floor, which displays the entire process of the Three Gorges Project, including all the resettlement projects and so on. There is also a coin exhibition and Xu Beihong's painting exhibition on the third and fourth floors. The exhibitions you see will be different depending on the time you go.

The Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum is located on the west side of Chongqing People's Square, opposite the Great Hall of the People. The museum is very good and attracts many tourists.

It's a very good museum with three or four floors and several theme exhibition halls. The exhibition hall introducing the history of the Three Gorges and Chongqing and the Xu Beihong painting exhibition attracted me the most. It was a very good visit.

Telling the history of the Three Gorges Project, a very valuable attraction

Personally, I think a major feature of the Three Gorges Museum is to understand the Three Gorges culture, listen to the Three Gorges landscape, tour the magnificent Three Gorges, create the Three Gorges, and appreciate the unique landforms and beautiful mountains and rivers in the Three Gorges area of the Yangtze River.

It is very big, with many museums inside. If you look carefully, you can spend at least half a day to visit. We spent an afternoon to visit.

The museum is free, but there are several dynamic exhibitions that require a queue, and entry is limited if you're not already there. I went to see "The Chongqing Bombing," which had limited seating, and "The History of the Three Gorges," which required standing room only, but seemed open to all. The museum has many other exhibition halls and categories, so if you're interested, you could spend a whole day exploring them. Perhaps I was so impressed by my previous visit to the Shaanxi Museum that I found the artifacts at the Chongqing Museum just average. I spent half a day exploring, and the pace was quite slow, but I was still exhausted.

Like many museums, the Chongqing Museum showcases Chongqing's past and present. It showcases the lives of Chongqing's inhabitants and unearthed cultural relics. Immersed in the atmosphere of learning about history and Chongqing, it's like stepping into a vortex of time.

It is roughly equivalent to the Chongqing Museum. The museum is shaped like the Three Gorges Dam that blocks the Yangtze River.

As for the collection, the main attraction was the Three Gorges-related content, which is also the most worth seeing here. The most interesting ones are the various cliff carvings. Before the reservoir was filled with water, the carvings on the cliffs on both sides were cut and placed in the museum to prevent water damage.

There are two other places worth seeing in the museum. One is the circular screen movie about the Three Gorges, which is perfect for people like me who don't have time to go to the Three Gorges and want to see what it looked like before the impoundment. The other is the calligraphy and painting gallery on the top floor. Although museums in western China have rich collections of bronzes, it's quite rare to find a calligraphy and painting gallery. You can even find two Song Dynasty paintings, which must have been brought here during the Anti-Japanese War.

If you go to Chongqing, you should go and see it. You can spend half a day with the Great Hall of the People and the other half a day to visit Zhongshan 4th Road.

This was the last attraction I visited on my last trip to Chongqing. I still wanted to experience the local culture! I think I heard it right! If you have family (elderly) on your trip, they will probably love this cultural atmosphere!

It is free and faces the Great Hall of the People. It is a must-see place for foreign tourists to Chongqing.

The exhibition halls on the first to third floors present the history of Chongqing from ancient times to the present, including four basic exhibition halls: "Ancient Ba-Yu", "Magnificent Three Gorges", "Anti-Japanese War Years", and "City Road". It is very convenient for foreign tourists to understand the past, present and future of Chongqing.

The remaining exhibition halls on the third floor and the fourth floor are 6 special exhibition halls for ancient coins, ancient paintings, ethnic minorities, etc.

The theme of the temporary exhibition hall is the Central African Treasure Sculpture Art Exhibition (the theme of each exhibition is different)

Tips:

1. The tour guide is free for everyone (I visited the site once, and when I was about to leave, I ran into a beautiful lady who started explaining it, so I visited the site again)

2. What is more interesting than the Three Gorges Museum is the message board with messages from tourists on each floor.

The transportation is convenient, the museum is cool, and you can get a good understanding of Chongqing and the Three Gorges.

The Three Gorges Museum has free admission, and many tour groups come here. During the security check, there is a lot of chaos between tourists and museum staff.

You can use WeChat to scan the entrance of each floor for a guide. My friend and I had almost run out of battery on our phones, so we didn't scan! My favorite is the exhibition hall of Emperor Jing of Han, and I also like the white porcelain of Emperor Guangxu!

Compared with museums in many cities that require advance reservations to enter, the Three Gorges Museum's "come, come, come" visiting method is really considerate.

Several permanent exhibition halls display coins from past dynasties, calligraphy and paintings from past dynasties, porcelain from past dynasties, and the historical changes of Chongqing.

Temporary exhibitions are often more interesting than permanent exhibitions. For example, the “Into Africa” exhibition that I spent a long time looking at this time had many statues with very interesting shapes or expressions, and the introductions next to them were also very detailed, but I still couldn’t appreciate many of them.

The "Bronze Tiger-Buttoned Hammer" is worthy of being the treasure of the Three Gorges Museum. It may not be noticeable at a glance, but a closer look reveals that the pattern is particularly exquisite.

There is also an exhibition hall dedicated to the history and changes of the city of Chongqing. After taking a closer look, it seems that you have a better understanding of this city.

"The monkeys on both sides of the river kept crying, and the boat had already passed through thousands of mountains. "With the completion of the Three Gorges Dam, it has become history."

The museum has four floors. After touring the first floor, we took the elevator up to the fourth floor and continued our tour. Each hall had a different theme. We stayed until closing time.

As for museums, anyone who enjoys them will definitely visit them when they visit a city, while those who don't will definitely avoid them. I recommend going, as it truly cultivates your sentiments. The Chongqing Three Gorges Museum is directly across from the Great Hall of the People, making it a great place for photos. The museum is closed on Mondays, so be aware of this when visiting.

The Three Gorges Museum has four floors. Everyone has different ideas about the museum's collections. I also saw some people holding their phones and cameras all the way to record every piece of the museum's collection, but I don't think it's necessary.

It is very worthwhile to go, you must go and see it, you will think deeply after seeing it

It is free to visit. Here you can learn about the history of the Three Gorges, and also learn about the history of Chongqing (the Three Gorges Museum is also the Chongqing Museum).

It is divided into four floors, mainly consisting of a 360-degree surround screen movie, four basic exhibitions ("The Magnificent Three Gorges", "Ancient Ba and Chongqing", "Chongqing City Road", "Years of Anti-Japanese War") and six special exhibitions.

The "Magnificent Three Gorges" exhibition hall in the museum also collects a large number of real objects from the Three Gorges Reservoir area, truly reproducing the original appearance of the Three Gorges.

After entering the museum, you can scan the WeChat guide. If you want to fully understand this museum, it will take a long time. After seeing the magnificent Three Gorges and the ancient Bayu, I went to watch the circular screen movie.

Because I took the high-speed train back in the afternoon, I didn’t have time to visit the Three Gorges Museum and had to turn back.

If you want to understand a city, you can often start with its museums.

At ten o'clock in the morning, a diorama of the Chongqing bombing was shown in the third-floor screening room. I learned that the Liberation Monument, now a monument, was once merely a flagpole erected after the bombing, but the spirit of resistance it symbolizes has survived to this day. The civilians displaced by the war, the lives cut short by it—those historical images remind us that war is not far away, but peace is hard-won.

【TIPS】

The third floor diorama "The Chongqing Bombing" (15 minutes) is open from 10:00 to 15:00 and 16:00.

The circular screen movie "The Three Gorges" (20 minutes) on the first floor is shown at 10:30 14:30 15:30

No reservation is required, just queue up for admission. The Chongqing Bombing is limited to 80 people per show, and the Three Gorges is limited to 250 people per show.

We arrived at the museum around 10:00 AM and planned to leave at 11:30 PM. Our one and a half hour visit was a bit rushed, but the Yangtze River's history and present-day history were vividly showcased, giving you the feeling of being able to see its dramatic transformation from a bird's-eye view! We also stumbled upon a temporary exhibition of African wood carvings, which surprisingly had a special explanation. We listened and learned that Africans deeply respect women, holding them in a higher position than other races. They actively apologize when they make mistakes, reflecting the truest side of human nature.

The Chongqing China Three Gorges Museum is just opposite the Great Hall and is open to the public free of charge all year round. It houses a collection of over 100,000 cultural relics and over 50,000 pieces of information. It would take at least a day to visit all of them. The museum is air-conditioned and a great summer resort, so it's definitely worth a visit with your children.

The Chongqing Museum is the China Three Gorges Museum. Its entire first floor is devoted to the Three Gorges Project. We were there to see Tang Yin's copy of "Night Banquet of Han Xizai." The painting's exquisite craftsmanship captivated my child, who lingered in front of it for a long time. She kept asking me questions, perplexed. Unsure how to guide her understanding, I changed the subject to talk about the suspicions of Li Yu, the last emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Han Xizai's helpless actions. The Chongqing Museum offers not only its own cultural and creative products, but also a wide selection from other museums.

There are so many exhibits inside, but I had to catch a train at noon, so I could only take a quick look. It's a pity. The Three Gorges Museum not only tells the history of the Three Gorges, but also includes the civilization of the Bayu region, which is equivalent to the positioning of a provincial museum.

The Three Gorges Museum was surprisingly comfortable. The first floor was bright and spacious, with soft, thick sofas perfect for sleepy visitors to rest. I actually felt sleepy and slept for half an hour. It was so comfortable!

The museum guide was very nice and friendly, and we visited many of the exhibits. Before leaving, we even bought a set of hand-drawn tourist maps. I felt so cute! The hot pot soup base packaging was also very cute!

Everyone is saying nice things, I'm sorry I have to say something practical.

1. Compared to other museums, the Chongqing Museum's permanent exhibition halls are uniquely laid out. To put it bluntly, they feel cluttered. The temporary exhibition halls, on the other hand, appear more coherent. 2. Aside from the stone carvings in the Three Gorges exhibition hall, the other exhibition halls lack exhibits that truly make the trip worthwhile. This is truly unfortunate for a museum in a municipality directly under the Central Government. 3. The most unbearable thing is the unbridled chatter and discussion within the exhibition halls, with children running, jumping, and singing at a decibel level. The noise is almost as deafening as a supermarket. It's incredibly disturbing. Even with plenty of time and the whole intention of being there, I could only briefly explore each hall. I simply couldn't find the mood to fully explore. Frequent travelers or those with a more artistic bent are strongly advised to avoid this museum. It will significantly dampen your impression of Chongqing and its people, and your overall enjoyment of your trip!

It looks really majestic from the outside.

The boat trackers are placed at the entrance of Hall 1. I think they want to show that Chongqing people are also very hardworking.

To be honest, if you want to quickly understand Chongqing, museums are a good start.

The museum is very large. If you want to see it carefully, it will probably take a day. I just looked at some key points carefully. The "Chongqing Bombing" was very shocking.

The Three Gorges Museum is directly opposite the auditorium

The museum is quite large and the air conditioning is on full blast. It's really unbearable to stay outside, so visiting the museum is a good choice. My friend and I walked around for nearly 2 hours and learned a lot about the Three Gorges civilization. It was quite rewarding.

The museum's displays are diverse, featuring sculptures and modern multimedia presentations. The Three Gorges, once a source of pain for the boat trackers, also provided them with a livelihood.

There is a lot of content in it, very good...

The Chongqing Museum and the Three Gorges Museum are combined, and I was surprised to see an introduction to Kurishenko here. At the time, the whereabouts of Soviet aid workers in China's war against Japan were kept secret. After Kurishenko's death, the death certificate his wife received simply stated that he died in the line of duty. She knew nothing about the circumstances of his death or even his burial location. It wasn't until the 1950s, when Kurishenko's daughter happened to meet a Chinese student, that she learned her father had died in China's war against the Japanese. The museum also houses numerous collections on minority cultures. The Naxi people believe in the Dongba religion, and the second image shows the Naxi Dongba Sutra, which looks similar to a cartoon. However, there's no text here, as the patterns themselves are the writing.

I've been to several provincial museums and they all feel pretty much the same.

The venue has three floors. It is mainly divided into the New Year theme exhibition hall, Chongqing Anti-Japanese War History, Civil War History, and Modern History Exhibition Hall. The content is quite rich.

The New Year themed pavilion focuses on the history of dogs and the totems of various ethnic groups. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Chongqing was appointed as the temporary capital. The subsequent westward shift of the economic center injected new vitality into the mountain city and laid a solid foundation for the development of the city's light and heavy industries.

The prosperous light industry is a microcosm of Chongqing in those days. The flames of war did not reduce this place to ashes. The heroic resistance of the Sichuan Army defended the heart of the motherland in the rear area.

I love visiting museums when I travel to other cities because they clearly reflect the city's history. The Three Gorges Museum is located just west of People's Square and offers no entrance fee. It was relatively uncrowded when I visited. It's said to be the largest museum in Chongqing.
