When you come to Xi'an, you must check in at the Shaanxi History Museum to learn about the various histories of this place. First, you need to make an appointment online, or make an appointment on your mobile phone public account, and search directly for the Shaanxi History Museum. It is best to make an appointment in advance, because there are only 6,000 free tickets for the day. If you are late or the tickets are out of stock, your travel plan will be disrupted. Or you can make an appointment online for 30 yuan for the Treasure Hall + Basic Hall ticket and enter directly without queuing. Because there are really many people queuing for free tickets. We were queuing to get tickets at the time, but if you want to change to a 30 yuan ticket, you need to make a new appointment, and there are no tickets for a good time. So it is still necessary to maintain the free ticket reservation queue. The security guard needs to see your ID and the successful appointment page before you can let you go, otherwise you will continue to queue. There is a manual explanation area on the right side of the basic hall. You need to queue up and wait for the explanation service. The basic hall is 100, and the treasure hall explanation is 50, but you can fight. We are 10 people fighting, up to 10 people, and then the tour guide will distribute the explanation server + headphones. The headphones are only one-sided, so only one person can use it. On the left side of the basic hall is the place to rent the explanation machine. The deposit and fee are on the map. It is recommended to have a manual explanation, which is low in cost and effective. However, if you want to take a slow walk, you can use an interpreter. The good things must be in the Treasure House, so if you have a free ticket, don't be afraid. There is a place to buy a ticket at the entrance of the Treasure House. Just buy a ticket and the interpreter will wait for you. The mural hall is 300, which is too expensive, but it includes tickets for the Treasure House and the Basic Hall. People who want to study history can consider it.

I was fooled by the guide. Don’t listen to the guide saying that you don’t have to queue up to buy paid tickets! Now, you need to make an appointment through WeChat to enter the Shaanxi History Museum. You can’t buy tickets without an appointment! At the manual ticket office, free tickets and paid tickets have to queue together. The automatic ticket machine does not require queuing, but the automatic ticket machine can only take out free tickets. Therefore, only those who make an appointment for free tickets do not have to queue up! After entering, there is a window selling paid tickets. There is no queue either. If you want to see the Treasure House, you can make an appointment for free tickets first and then buy tickets after entering. You don’t have to queue up at all! Only those who make an appointment for free tickets do not have to queue up! Only those who make an appointment for free tickets do not have to queue up! Only those who make an appointment for free tickets do not have to queue up!

Tickets on the official account have already been booked. But China-TravelNote can still be booked. It's not the holiday yet, but there are already crowds of people when I go there. Although I downloaded the Saiyoudao app and paid the fee, there is still no explanation of the things in the first exhibition hall. I can only listen to the tour guide's explanation. I happened to meet a teacher from Northwestern Polytechnical University who was explaining. He was so dedicated. He talked from morning to noon. The teacher was very knowledgeable and not an ordinary tour guide. He talked about the first exhibition hall for more than three hours, from the Stone Age to the Qin Dynasty. I really sighed at the breadth of Chinese civilization. Compared with the national museums in Thailand and Malaysia that I have been to, the content of these museums is much less than that of Shaanxi History Museum.

Today's visit to the Shaanxi History Museum was provided by Kunpeng Travel Agency, but it was not shortened at all. Teacher Tang Xiaohong's detailed explanation lasted nearly two and a half hours. She grasped the key points, used the past to bring the present together with humor, and incorporated some historical memories and culture that had been buried for thousands of years into modern language and even Internet celebrity terms. It was a great listen and I learned a lot of historical knowledge. Thank you Teacher Tang for your professionalism.

Shaanxi History Museum is located on the northwest side of Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It is the first large-scale modern national museum in China. It has a collection of more than 370,000 cultural relics and is known as the "Pearl of the Ancient Capital and Treasure House of China."

The tour route of Shaanxi History Museum mainly includes: "Shaanxi Ancient Civilization First Exhibition Hall" on the first floor (enter from the left and exit from the right), and then go to the second floor to see "Shaanxi Ancient Civilization Second and Third Exhibition Halls". Go down the stairs at the rental and return place of the audio guide on the first floor and turn right to the fourth exhibition hall "Hejiacun Tang Dynasty Relics Exhibition". This exhibition hall is charged, and the ticket price is 30 yuan/person

The exhibits are very good, with a large number and high quality. You must come and see them. They are mainly the Neolithic culture in Shaanxi, including the Yangshao culture, the Lantian culture, and the historical culture of the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties, which are breathtaking. The paid Hejiacun Tang Dynasty Relics Exhibition Hall mainly exhibits gold, silver, jewelry and jade wares from the Tang Dynasty unearthed in Xi'an, which are exquisite. Among them is a glass product. The ancient glass making technology stagnated, and the ancients believed that glass was more valuable than gold.

The one that impressed me the most was the "Tang Dynasty Tri-colored Pottery Camel Carrying Music", which I think was mentioned in the middle school history textbook. It is very wonderful, see Figure 6.

The severe smog in Shaanxi cannot block the glory of Shaanxi History Museum! I went there on the 15th of the lunar year. I saw a video online saying that I could buy a 30 yuan ticket on the spot, but the actual situation is that all tickets need to be booked online! ! ! The children in Shaanxi have already started school during our time period, so the next day, according to the tour guide, there were fewer people, but every time I saw a treasure, it was like a bandit robbery, hot and hurried. I no longer had the mood to appreciate the treasures. There were also many people in the venue with 30 yuan tickets. I followed the tour guide to take a quick look, and I was so tired that I didn’t have the energy to stay in front of the treasures I liked. In addition, I think that children under the age of 5 should not go. Many parents fell asleep in their arms, and some went with babies, which was simply a torture! ! ! I like the twelve zodiac figurines the most, they are vivid and cute. The pig inside seems to be the prototype of the 1983 version of Zhu Bajie, with the same expression.

During the Spring Festival, I had some time to visit the Shaanxi History Museum. I would like to give you a few pointers.

First, you need to queue up for tickets, so it's best to come early. Second, you need to go through security to enter, but you can store your bag in advance to save the trouble of entering. Third, you need to queue up to enter for manual explanations, but not for machine explanations. I personally think that machine explanations are good, and you can control the time and speed by yourself. Fourth, the collection is very rich, and one day is not enough if you want to take a closer look. So you should do some homework before coming and have an understanding, especially if you come with children, so as not to be embarrassed if you don't know anything.

Because I came during the children's holiday, there were still a lot of people. I listened to the introduction and thought, haha, the cultural papermaking is not expensive, but it feels so valuable [呲牙][呲牙][呲牙]

The most deceptive attraction in Shaanxi (no one else). It was supposed to be free, but these people played a trick on me. The free ticket office was lined up for a kilometer. They didn't let me in at the museum entrance, saying that there were too many people inside and they would temporarily hold back. They saw someone entering but didn't stop them. After asking about the situation, I learned that they had paid for the ticket. I went to buy the ticket, but when I got there, I learned that my student ID card couldn't be used and I had to pay the full price. I paid the full price. They didn't allow me to bring a selfie stick during the security check. I was confused. What the hell was this? It was another bag storage (all in vain). The service was the worst of all.

Below is the channel to get free tickets. You can book them on the official website. If you don’t like their behavior, please call me Brother Lei Feng.

The Shaanxi History Museum is located at the intersection of Xiaozhai East Road and Cuihua Road in Xi'an, at the intersection of the city's main roads, close to the city center and convenient for transportation. The Shaanxi History Museum is also China's first large-scale modern national museum and one of the first Chinese "AAAA"-level tourist attractions. It is known as the "Pearl of the Ancient Capital and the Treasure House of China". However, there is relatively little text information in the museum, so it is not possible to fully understand everything.

It should be one of the most worthwhile museums in the country, but there are so many people queuing up. It feels similar to the Palace Museum. Both times I went there, I saw two endless queues (free and 30 yuan including the Tang Dynasty Relics Exhibition). Tourists who are short on time should make reservations online in advance, unless you are over 65 years old, when there will be fewer people queuing up.

Shaanxi History Museum is located in the northwest of Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It was opened in 1991 and has a collection of more than 370,000 pieces, ranging from simple stone tools used by ancient humans to various kinds of utensils in social life before 1840. Not only are there a large number and variety, but also high value. Among them, the bronze wares of Shang and Zhou dynasties are exquisite, the pottery figurines of various dynasties are in various shapes, the gold and silver wares of Han and Tang dynasties are unique in the country, and the murals in Tang tombs are unparalleled in the world. (The Tang Dynasty mural treasures museum costs 300 yuan, and tickets are sold separately after entering the museum)

If you haven't been to Shaanxi History Museum, it's like you haven't been to Xi'an. This museum houses all kinds of rare treasures. As I said before, you must ask for a tour guide! [Tickets are free with ID card], but there are many people queuing, and the queue takes a long time, so I bought the tour guide + ticket online, which is equivalent to the tour guide helping you queue up and exchange tickets in advance. I waited for the tour guide at the check-in office at nine o'clock, and received the tickets and brought the headset to enter the museum.

You need to buy separate tickets for the Treasure House and the other mural house, and the guide will not take you to the Treasure House for explanations. It is recommended to follow the guide to visit the other houses first, and then take photos or go to the Treasure House according to your own schedule when you leave. I visited from 9 am to 1 pm. If I didn't have a backache, I might have visited all day.

Everyone, remember, Shaanxi History Museum is free, but not free tickets! A total of 6,000 tickets are issued every day, 3,000 in the morning and 3,000 in the afternoon, while stocks last. I booked the tickets on the official website of Shaanxi Museum 2 weeks in advance. Picking up tickets at the official website window is the fastest. No matter which channel you use, you must pick up afternoon tickets at 12:30! Because the later the time, the more people in line, and the longer the line...

There are many travel notes about Shaanxi History Museum on China-TravelNote, including many very professional explanations and narrations of cultural relics. As for me, I am neither a history geek nor a history major, and I cannot understand the voice announcer very comprehensively. So I can only take you through the rich historical atmosphere of Shaanxi History Museum from beginning to end. I really cannot write something that is highly professional, and I hope you can understand!

Museums are generally free but not ticket-free. You can get a ticket to enter with your ID card.

However, popular museums like the Shaanxi Museum rarely have long queues. If you want to save time, I suggest you buy a 30-yuan ticket to the Hejiacun Treasure Museum or a 300-yuan ticket to the Mural Museum to avoid the trouble of queuing.

The collection of Shaanxi History Museum can definitely be selected as the top three in the country, with as many as 1.7 million pieces. The history of Xi'an is well presented here. It is recommended that those who want to understand Shaanxi Museum must ask for a tour guide, otherwise it will be a waste of time. The museum has tour guides and you can join a group. We happened to meet a tour guide and joined a group with several students, which was slightly cheaper than the normal tour guide.

The Shaanxi Museum opens with a topographic map of Shaanxi. The Du Hu Fu, which appeared in the National Treasure, is only half of the one that can command thousands of troops. The real thing is really small.

The secret color porcelain bowls in Famen Temple were also the reason why I wanted to come to Xi'an in the first place. I watched a documentary on the unearthed cultural relics in Famen Temple on TV, and I couldn't forget the secret color porcelain mentioned in it. The production process of secret color porcelain is still unknown, but no matter when you observe it, the bottom plate seems to have a pool of clear water.

This set of pottery figurines unearthed in the Ming Dynasty left a deep impression on me. It is said that the person sitting in the high position is Zhu Chong, the second son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who once served as a vassal king in Xi'an. The expressions of the characters in this set of pottery figurines are vivid, with different expressions and bright colors, which are amazing.

The cultural relics in Shaanxi Museum are so overwhelming that one can't help but linger. It took me more than two hours just to take a look at them.

Content: One of the best historical museums in the country, it has extremely rich and exquisite collections and is a magnificent treasure house of ancient art.

Management: One of the most crowded museums in the country, the management is quite disgusting and greedy, it is a modern money-making machine.

To be honest, if we hadn't come for the ¥300 mural museum, we would have waited in line for half a day. Now, even the Treasure Museum is quite crowded, and those so-called national treasures can't be appreciated in detail. The mural museum is still good, very quiet and atmospheric.

The bus goes directly to the entrance, it's free, and you have to queue up to enter the museum with your ID card. It's closed on Mondays, so we didn't hire a tour guide. We rented a guide and started to visit. After all, Xi'an is the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, so the cultural relics and antiques in the museum are much older. They are divided into various halls according to dynasties, but the most important ones are Qin, Han, and Tang. What impressed me most were the Terracotta Warriors, Tang Sancai, and Tiger Treasures!

Shaanxi History Museum is our first stop in Xi'an. We were looking forward to it! Although we were a little disappointed at first (we met a tour guide with poor professional skills), it was a blessing in disguise to meet the golden teacher Chang! He started explaining from 9:30 in the morning until 5:00 in the afternoon. He was patient and humorous. He could recite the Book of Songs, Tang poems, and Song poems by heart, and recommended many good history books to the children! It was a worthwhile trip for both children and adults! Thumbs up to the teacher!

You can book a tour group online to visit the History Museum. The meeting time is 9:40 in the morning and 12:40. The fee includes the tour guide's explanation. The most important thing is that you can enter the park without queuing. Because there are long queues of tourists every morning to buy tickets at the History Museum, the queue is simply indescribable. In such a cold winter, you don't want to be outside in the cold wind, so it is the most suitable to book this tour group online. You only need to arrive at the West 8 window of the scenic area at 9:30 and wait. The tour guide will sit in the window and wait for all the registered tourists to arrive, and then call the roll, and then distribute headphones and interpreters.

Here is a reminder that you can only enter the Treasure House once. If you leave the exhibition hall, you cannot enter again and must buy a new ticket. The tour guide will remind tourists in time, so be sure to listen carefully.

The day before, I forgot to bring my ID card and missed the opening time of Shaanxi Museum by only one minute. Today, I learned my lesson and went to the museum in the morning. While queuing to enter, I found two young ladies to share a car with me to go to the Terracotta Warriors in the afternoon. As expected, I still have to take the initiative. After entering the museum, I rented an electronic tour guide for each of us. In fact, after entering, I found that I didn’t need this at all. There are many groups inside, and there are guides introducing almost every place. We just need to listen to it. Xi’an is the ancient capital of 13 dynasties, and we are also particularly looking forward to its museum. As its slogan says, "Give me a day, and I will give you ten thousand years." What impressed me most was the tri-color camel figurine carrying music from the heyday of the Tang Dynasty. I have seen his appearance in books countless times, and I was shocked by the color of his glass and his vivid posture when I really saw the real thing. There are seven men sitting on the back of the camel, holding different musical instruments in their hands. A closer look shows that everyone has different expressions. Some listen attentively, some are intoxicated by playing the flute, and the woman in the middle is performing gracefully. The huge camel is also intoxicated by the music, looking up at the sky, as if it is also singing loudly. It is hard to imagine that the craftsmen thousands of years ago had such aesthetics and exquisite craftsmanship that are difficult to achieve in modern times. From this figurine, we can feel the freedom and prosperity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Due to time constraints, we can only rush through it. If we have enough time, we should be able to stay in it for a day. (The history of Xi'an is intoxicating. The visit to the museum gives us the opportunity to calm down, think back to the powerful Qin Dynasty and even the prosperous Tang Dynasty, recall China's past thousand years of history, and reflect on our own insignificance.

How many people, like me, have seen the National Treasure and have made this one of the museums that must be visited in their lifetime. The museum is free of charge, but special museums are charged separately. The number of people is limited every day. You can make an appointment online, but as we all know, it is unimaginable how many people there are during the National Day holiday, not to mention online reservations. In order to be able to visit the entire Shaanxi Museum without regrets, I bought the most expensive ticket for the Tang Dynasty Mural Treasures Museum, so that I can see the Tang Dynasty relics together, and there is no need to queue. In fact, you will know when you go to see it, it is really worth the price. Especially the guest envoy picture, polo picture, hunting trip picture of the tomb of Prince Zhanghuai, the tower picture of the tomb of Prince Yide, and the ceremonial picture. You can't see how magnificent the ceremonial picture is in the National Treasure. You must get close to feel how shocking the ceremonial team composed of nearly 200 civil and military officials, including the foot guard, the horse guard and the motorcade, is.



It really takes a lot of physical strength and patience to visit the Shaanxi Museum, because the guides need to wait in a long line, so we took electronic guides, and I used up the batteries of three guides. Later, when I visited the ordinary museum, a volunteer explained, and what he said was super exciting, much better than the mechanical explanation of the guide. Only when you get here will you find out how ignorant you are. But the collection of the Shaanxi Museum is so rich, no wonder the barrage said that the Shaanxi Museum participated in the National Treasure for fun, and any one of them is a world-class cultural relic. So if you can, I really recommend you to spend a whole day to feel the heavy sense of history.

The museum is free, and you can get a ticket with your ID card. However, there are two halls that charge admission, one is the Hejiacun Treasures (30 yuan), and the other is the Mural Hall (300 yuan). As long as you buy tickets for any of these two halls, you can enter the hall without queuing.

We went there around 9 o'clock. There was already a super long line at the door. After we met the tour guide, she took us in directly without queuing. So it is necessary to buy tickets, otherwise you will have sore feet in the queue and will not be in the mood to see it later. And the Hejiacun treasures are known to those who have seen the National Treasure, and they cannot be missed.

The Shaanxi History Museum, like many buildings in Xi'an, was designed by Ms. Zhang Jinqiu, Liang Sicheng's last disciple. Seventy to eighty percent of the buildings in Xi'an were designed by her. When you visit the Xi'an Museum, the Tang Paradise, and the Daming Palace Ruins, you will find that her designs are very personal.



Once you enter the museum, the first thing you should see is the Hejiacun Treasures Exhibition. You need to enter this museum with a ticket, and you can't go back in once you leave, so you have to look carefully. The silver sachet with grape, flower and bird patterns that has been listed in the National Treasure comes from here, but I didn't see it after walking around this time, or maybe I missed it? It's a pity.

Green glaze handle pouring porcelain pot. The design of this pot is very clever. Water is poured from the bottom, and when it is turned upside down, the water will not flow out. Not only is the shape unique, but the design is also ingenious. I admire the wisdom of the ancients again.

Agate cup inlaid with gold animal heads. It is a national treasure, a unique piece in China, one of the first batch of cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad, and the treasure of Shaanxi History Museum.

The Jade Seal of the Empress. This is a national treasure, belonging to Empress Lü Zhi of the Han Dynasty. It is the only physical material of the seal of the Empress of the Han Dynasty and is extremely precious.

Gilded Bronze Silkworm from the Western Han Dynasty. It is really as big as a silkworm, so exquisite.

Xi'an gold cakes. A total of more than 300 pieces have been unearthed. Imagine putting more than 300 golden cakes in front of you. It's really dazzling.

A red gold dragon. Very cute.

The most famous thing in Shaanxi History Museum is probably the murals.

When we went there, it was off-season, but there were still a lot of people. Especially since many people came at the same time, around 9 or 10 in the morning, so some of the glass exhibition stands were packed. The guide said that there were even more people in the summer, even more exaggerated.

After we were free to disperse, we went back to finish viewing the exhibits we hadn’t finished with. As it was getting close to noon, there were fewer people, so we suggested that we wouldn’t be able to squeeze in in the morning, and we could take a walk around and come back later in the day when there wouldn’t be so many people.

Although the Shaanxi History Museum is a 4A scenic spot, there are so many things to see that you would lose money if you don't go. First of all, there are really many classic collections, and there are some cultural relics from 5,000 years ago to the Tang Dynasty, which is really eye-opening; secondly, the ticket price is not expensive. There is a free entrance, and many people line up, and there are also 30 yuan to enter the museum. Of course, the ticket for the Tang Dynasty Mural Museum is really a bit expensive, 300 yuan, and there is no half-price discount for students. I personally don't like to see murals, so I didn't go to the Tang Dynasty Mural Museum. If you are in a hurry, it is recommended to buy a 30 yuan ticket. There are not many people queuing. If you are not in a hurry, you can line up for the free queue at will. To be honest, this 4A museum is much better than many 5A attractions, and it is worth the trip if you go to see it.

The Sanqin area is one of the important areas where the Chinese nation lived and multiplied, and where Chinese civilization was born and developed. The thirteen most glorious dynasties in Chinese history, including Zhou, Qin, Han, and Tang, once established their capitals here. Rich cultural relics and profound cultural accumulation have formed Shaanxi's unique historical and cultural features. The Shaanxi History Museum, known as the "Pearl of the Ancient Capital and the Treasure House of China", is an art palace that showcases Shaanxi's history and culture and ancient Chinese civilization.



Shaanxi History Museum is located in the northwest of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an. It was planned in 1983 and opened on June 20, 1991. It is the first large-scale modern national museum in China. Its predecessor can be traced back to the Shaanxi "Encouragement Exhibition Hall" established in 1909. Its completion marks a new milestone in the development of China's museum industry. This museum is a Tang-style building complex with "central hall and four corners of the tower". The main and secondary buildings are well-organized, the heights are staggered, the momentum is majestic and solemn, and it integrates national traditions, local characteristics and the spirit of the times. The museum covers an area of 65,000 square meters. The building area is 55,600 square meters, the cultural relics storage area is 8,000 square meters, the exhibition hall area is 11,000 square meters, and the collection of cultural relics is 1,717,950 pieces (sets). From the simple stone tools used by ancient humans in the initial stage to various artifacts in social life before 1840, the time span is more than one million years. The cultural relics are not only numerous and varied, but also high-quality and valuable. Among them, the bronze wares from the Shang and Zhou dynasties are exquisite, the pottery figurines from various dynasties are in various shapes and forms, the gold and silver wares from the Han and Tang dynasties are unique in the country, and the murals in Tang tombs are unparalleled in the world. It can be said that there are a dazzling array of exquisite items.



Shaanxi History Museum is a comprehensive history museum. Since its opening, it has made full use of the advantages of cultural relics, adhered to the principle of "effective protection, rational use, and strengthened management", organically combined the functions of collection and preservation, scientific research, and publicity and education, and held various forms of exhibitions, forming a display system in which basic exhibitions, special exhibitions, and temporary exhibitions complement each other and complement each other, revealing the rich cultural connotations of historical relics to the audience from multiple angles and aspects, and showing the profound civilization achievements of the Chinese nation. At the same time, it has gone abroad with an open attitude, presenting the splendid Chinese civilization and the dazzling Sanqin culture to people from all over the world.



As one of the first batch of "4A" tourist attractions in China, Shaanxi History Museum attracts many Chinese and foreign guests with its excellent display, beautiful environment, high-quality service, good order and unique charm. It has become an important window for spreading the excellent culture of the Chinese nation and foreign cultural exchanges. In the 21st century, this cultural palace that brings together the essence of cultural relics in the land of Sanqin will make greater contributions to the revival of Chinese culture and the exchange and mutual learning of human civilization with a new look full of vitality and vigor.

It was a good idea to book tickets online before coming to Xi'an, because when we arrived at the ticket collection point of Shaanxi History Museum, the queue for tickets on site was already hundreds of meters long, but there was no one at the ticket collection window for online booking, so I got the tickets smoothly without queuing. Although the service attitude of the ticket seller was very bad, he threw my ID card and ticket out.

It's true that so many people recommend Shaanxi History Museum. Although we didn't hire a tour guide, we can still feel the profound cultural heritage of this place from each piece of cultural relic. We started with the gilded bronze horse in the National Treasure Exhibition Hall, and then the ancient civilization of Shaanxi, etc., in the order of visiting the museum. During the period, we also saw various cultural relics such as the golden monster, the stone drum (replica), the No. 1 and No. 2 bronze carriages (replicas), civil servants, kneeling archers, pottery, and Tang Sancai. It's really an eye-opener. Many things that have never been seen before and can't be seen now are shown. Although we didn't go to the Datang Treasure Hall due to time constraints, the many cultural relics we saw in the first three halls are enough for us to feel it. The most surprising thing is that the staff used modern technology to project the color of the Terracotta Warriors' clothes when they were just unearthed on a standing soldier and horse servant, and attached them to various parts of the Terracotta Warriors, so that everyone can more intuitively feel the colorful Terracotta Warriors at that time, instead of the stereotyped color of the soil today.

The baggage storage area at the entrance of the museum has time limits. It is free within two hours, and a fee of 20 yuan will be charged after the time limit.

The museum is free but not ticket-free. There are two ways to get tickets. One is to make an appointment on the official website, but the number of places is limited and it is difficult to get an appointment. The other is to queue up at the museum entrance.

Arriving at the museum at about 1pm, I walked out of Xiaozhai subway station for 5 minutes and saw a group of people queuing. I asked the security guard and he said the queue would take at least 2 hours. Going forward and passing the main entrance of the museum, I saw another group of people queuing for the museum's paid exhibitions: Tang Dynasty Relics and Tang Dynasty Murals. The tickets were 30 yuan and 300 yuan respectively. The number of people in line was obviously less than the free ticket line, but it still took an hour on holidays. When it was almost my turn, I suddenly remembered the tickets I had booked online before, so I asked where to redeem the tickets on the review, but the security guard pointed to a window with almost no people!

Tips: Tickets for the Tang Dynasty Treasures Exhibition can be purchased and booked online in advance! You can redeem them directly at the Visitor Service Center, saving the time of queuing for tickets, and saving at least 1 hour during holidays!

After entering the museum, I first visited the Tang Dynasty Treasures Exhibition. After all, I paid for it, and it was indeed a very worthwhile exhibition. Many of the gadgets were very delicately made, and I had to admire the exquisite craftsmanship.

After visiting the Tang Dynasty Treasures Museum, we visited Exhibitions 1, 2 and 3, which were from prehistory to the Qin and Han dynasties, and then to the Sui and Tang dynasties, etc. The exhibitions included both Qin and Han dynasty pottery figurines. Compared with the Qin, Han ones were much smaller, and almost every figurine looked similar.

Most of the exhibition halls of Shaanxi Provincial Museum are open to the public free of charge. You can get your ticket at the door. There are a lot of people queuing up. Some exhibition halls have paid exhibitions of cultural relics from certain sites. You can buy tickets at the gate so you don't have to queue up. Let's go~

As soon as we entered the door, a tall and mighty stone lion welcomed us with a contemptuous attitude.

The information desk can hire tour guides, but because there were so many people, the supply could not meet the demand, and there was a huge queue, so we decided to go around by ourselves.

Anyway, my routine for visiting museums... Actually... I don't really need a tour guide...

The first thing we visited was the special exhibition of cultural relics from the ruins.

It took me only 20 minutes to finish visiting a special exhibition hall. Xiaoyu looked at every exhibit very carefully and only looked at less than 10 pieces.

I decided to go to other exhibition halls to continue shopping.

When I got back to the gate, I saw that there were not many people queuing at the explanation area, so I quickly went to get a number and decided to hire a tour guide to give them a surprise.

The tour guide took a box of earphones. The wires were messy and tangled together. The boy spent 5 minutes sorting them out but couldn't pick one out. . . I closed the box silently and went back to the room to change a box. I felt sorry for the boy for 5 minutes.



With the explanation, we can better appreciate the heritage of Shaanxi Museum and listen to the stories of each cultural relic. An hour passed quickly and we could only have a cursory tour of the huge museum.

After a quick tour, it was already 12 o'clock. Xiaoyu didn't feel satisfied at all, but had to leave reluctantly.

The exhibition layout of Shaanxi Provincial History Museum is much more exquisite than before, like a historical story of the rise and fall of Guanzhong region, with a beginning, a climax, and an end. It is better to hire a guide. Problems with renting an interpreter: 1. Not all key cultural relics have audio interpretation; 2. The exhibits are surrounded by tourists and the serial numbers cannot be seen at all. I believe that it will be a better experience if there is an interpreter. The cultural and creative store at the exit is also very interesting, and the small things are not expensive.

The Shaanxi History Museum is free but not free to enter. You can queue up to exchange tickets with your ID card, or you can make a reservation on the official website and then pick up the ticket directly at the online ticket window.

There weren't many people queuing the day I went, but there will probably be a lot of people queuing on holidays.

It is recommended that several people share a tour guide when visiting the Shaanxi History Museum, but this time I got a tour guide

The thing is, in the museum you will see some people holding a stack of information and reciting it, they are actually practicing the tour guide explanation. Then there was a young lady who was also practicing, and she was looking for someone to practice with, and I happened to be the only one there, so she asked me if I wanted to listen to her explanation for free. So I listened to the explanation of the young lady for free.

The museum is very large, with several exhibition halls. I visited halls one, two and three, which took me almost three hours.

Having heard about the popularity of the Shaanxi History Museum, I chose to go there on the first day after the holiday, but I was still shocked by the crowd. Before the door opened, there were already three layers of people lining up to get tickets. The Shaanxi History Museum also implements a free but not free ticket policy, and you have to get your tickets at the door. Or you can spend 30 yuan to buy a ticket for the Treasure Hall, which allows you to skip the queue and see the Hejiacun treasures, or spend 300 yuan to buy a ticket for the Mural Hall, which also allows you to skip the queue. I bought a 30 yuan ticket for the Treasure Hall online in advance, and went directly into the museum to visit after picking up the ticket.

If you are visiting during holidays like us, here are two suggestions:

1. Try to go as soon as the museum opens at 9:00 in the morning

2. It is best to buy paid tickets directly online (the kind with explanations)

We went in at 9:40 in the morning. Because we bought the most expensive set of tickets for the Tang Dynasty mural exhibition, we went in directly without queuing. At this time, there was already a queue of at least ten meters to get the free tickets.

More and more people came as time went on. My mom and I watched for three hours and in the end we left because we were completely exhausted.

But I have to say it is really worth seeing. Whether it is the explanation or the cultural relics themselves, they make people feel the charm of Chinese culture and the ingenuity of the ancient craftsmen.

Shaanxi History Museum is a place you don't want to leave once you enter it. If I'm not too tired to walk, I won't leave on my own initiative. It's especially necessary to explain it when you enter. It's a bit difficult to understand by yourself. There are volunteers who give free explanations four times a day, which is great👍fixed time. The explanations of the group will be more in-depth, so you can decide based on your own situation.

It is worth seeing. There are so many cultural relics and exhibits inside, some of which are priceless treasures. I rented an electronic interpreter. There is an exhibit with a pattern of headphones on the serial number plate. Only then can I enter the serial number to listen to the explanation. Sometimes because there are so many people, I can't see the serial number at all, so I suggest that those who are interested should ask for a manual explanation.

The Shaanxi History Museum is famous overseas, so naturally we have to report on it. Speaking of interest in it, we should really thank CCTV's National Treasure program. Through their interpretation, these cultural relics have been injected with new connotations and become more vivid.

As the exhibition hall is being restored, the middle exhibition hall is not accessible. Unfortunately, the small army formation of the Terracotta Warriors can no longer be seen. You can only visit the two sides. The themes of the exhibition halls include Farewell between Man and Ape, Phoenix Singing at Mount Qishan, Eastern Empire, Glory of the Han Dynasty, Conflict and Fusion, Atmosphere of the Prosperous Tang Dynasty, etc. There are also two paid halls: the Tang Dynasty Relics Exhibition and the Tang Dynasty Mural Treasures Hall.

The Tang Dynasty Relics Exhibition: Ticket price is 30 yuan. It mainly displays cultural relics unearthed from the Hejiacun cellar, mainly some gold and silver jewelry, which are exquisitely crafted.

Tang Dynasty Mural Treasures Museum: The ticket price is 300 yuan, which is really expensive and you can only stay away from it. However, if you are fascinated by murals, you can of course take a look. The murals on display include the tomb of Prince Zhanghuai, the tomb of Prince Yide, the tomb of Princess Yongtai, etc. The cost of restoration may be high, and the number of visitors can be controlled by the way. Student tickets are 50% off. If you are a student, it is strongly recommended to visit!

I went there at 7 o'clock and there was already a long queue. It's gratifying that so many young people are also keen on these antiques.

We arrived too early, and the museum was not open yet. I looked at the museum through the railings. It was designed by Ms. Zhang Jinqiu, a disciple of Liang Sicheng. The architectural complex imitated the Tang Dynasty style, which set off the historical charm of the entire museum in a simple and solemn manner. Not only did it highlight the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but the layout also drew on the structural characteristics of traditional Chinese architecture, "axial symmetry and four corners of the building", which was magnificent.

Entering the exhibition hall, you enter into the sedimentation of interlaced time and space. The long river of history rolls down like a scroll, and vivid pictures appear on the scroll.

I didn't want to buy the Tang Dynasty Treasures Exhibition, so I booked a free ticket online. If you don't book a free ticket or don't want to queue up to get the ticket (the queue is really long, probably at least about a hundred people in the queue), you can buy the ticket for the Tang Dynasty Treasures Exhibition and enter directly.

It is said that except for a few national treasures, the exhibits are changed every three months. If you look at the exhibits carefully, it will take at least three hours. Because I just glanced at some exhibits and didn't look at them carefully. There are so many exhibits worth savoring that if you look at them carefully, one day is really not enough.

The Shaanxi Museum has seven exhibition halls besides the National Treasures Exhibition. When I went there, Hall 67 seemed to be closed. The middle one was the mural exhibition, which required a 300-yuan ticket to enter, but I didn't buy it. I bought the 30-yuan one, which seemed to be Hall 5. Hall 4 was the Red Journey Exhibition.

Stop 145: Big Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi'an, Shaanxi History Museum. AAAAA. Tickets are 40, free (Tang Dynasty murals are 300), no inspection required. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda Music Square is under renovation (open on December 25), but it does not mean that the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is not open. Don't believe the scams of those black tour guides outside. It costs 20 yuan to climb the tower, but when you go up to the sixth floor with great effort, you find that there is nothing, and then you go down hard, and the crowd pushes you, and you can't rest at all. It's really a rip-off. The History Museum has national treasures, but free entry must be booked online seven days in advance, otherwise you can line up at six in the morning. But if you buy a paid ticket, you can enter unimpeded. The Tang Dynasty murals are very shocking and exquisite. The detailed layout and the explanation make you feel like you are dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty when you are walking around. It is the most worthwhile place to see in the museum, but the ticket price is biting. Because taking photos is prohibited, you can only take a few sneak shots. You can only experience the taste of it when you see it in person. It is recommended to buy tickets online, which is slightly cheaper.

Shaanxi Museum receives 6,000 visitors for free every day, 3,000 in the morning and 3,000 in the afternoon, but you need to make an appointment in advance on the official website or queue up on site to get tickets. Although it is not the peak tourist season, there were thousands of people waiting to get tickets when we went there. Fortunately, I bought an adult ticket for the Tang Treasure House for 30 yuan online (children under 1.4 meters are free), and picked up the ticket at Mixue Ice City opposite the Shaanxi Museum. I entered directly without queuing, and I could also visit the Hejiacun Kiln Unearthed Cultural Relics Exhibition with the ticket. There were few tourists and there were some treasures that could not be seen in the free exhibition hall. It was still quite worthwhile. Because I didn't buy tickets for the mural exhibition, I missed those national treasure-level murals.

After entering the museum, I wanted to hire a tour guide, but unfortunately I went too late and all the manual tour guides had left, so I had to rent an electronic tour guide. The rental price was 10 or 20 yuan per unit, I couldn’t remember exactly, but the deposit was 100 yuan, and it had to be in cash. Fortunately, I had a few hundred yuan on me.

After learning about the National Treasures program, we know that every cultural relic has its past and present. If we want to appreciate the numerous exhibits in the Shaanxi Museum carefully, one day is far from enough, not to mention that we only have less than three hours. We took a quick tour of the three floors, and occasionally met a tour guide or a volunteer in a red vest, so we followed them for a while. Although the electronic commentary was standardized, it was far from the passionate explanation of the volunteers and tour guides. Humanistic things still need emotional interpretation to be more interesting.

Museum tickets are in great demand, so make sure to make an appointment in advance on the official website, otherwise you will have to queue up at the museum entrance.

Yu Yu was smart and had booked today's tickets on the official website in advance.

The reservation on the official website was successful. You can directly queue up to book tickets online. The process is fast. A queue of more than ten people can get the tickets in less than ten minutes.

The staff guiding the queue told us to prepare our ID cards and order screenshots/text messages in advance to facilitate verification by the ticket seller and speed up the queue process.

There is no group registration and no tour guide rental... You can join a group on site and ask for a tour guide, or you can rent one.

The artifacts inside are so beautiful...

The museum is free, but there are two admission fees, the Tang Dynasty Treasure Hall and the Mural Hall. The admission fee is 30 yuan for the Treasure Hall and 300 yuan for the Mural Hall. I saw online that if you buy a ticket for the Treasure Hall, you don't need to queue up and you can go in directly with the ticket. And if you don't hire a tour guide for the museum, you will just have a quick tour once you enter. So I booked a ticket and went to visit and learn with a tour guide.

When I got there at 8 o'clock, there was already a long line. Xi'an has the most people in the country's museums, but it's worth it. The treasures here will open your eyes. The bronze ware is the best and most exquisite I have ever seen, and there are the most murals. Every piece of treasure unearthed in Hejiacun is

In the Tang Dynasty, fatness was considered beautiful. The unearthed pottery figurines were cute, plump, round and colorful.

The museum's tour guide, Xiao Li, introduced us to a tour guide for the Terracotta Warriors. The price was about 30 yuan more expensive than the one on the Internet. Because it was raining outside and we met a beautiful girl, Xiao Wang, who came from Harbin. She was also alone, so we joined this small group. Four people shared a car to the Terracotta Warriors Museum, which cost 38 yuan per person. In fact, it only costs 7 yuan to take the bus. If you are not in a hurry, taking the bus is also very good. When we returned to the city, we took the No. 306 bus. Just don't take the fake bus. The real bus has "Youwu" (No. 306 bus) written in gold letters, and the queue is full. The fake bus may take you to the fake Terracotta Warriors.

You can get the free ticket by showing your ID card. If you come to Xi'an, you must visit the Shaanxi History Museum. As the cultural relics are under maintenance, Halls 4 and 5 are temporarily closed to the public. We only visited Halls 1/2/3, and did not visit the Tang Dynasty Treasure Hall and the Mural Hall. Every time I see a treasure, I realize the amazing wisdom of the people at that time. Every treasure is exquisitely crafted and amazing...

We got up early but arrived late. There were too many tourists waiting in line for the tour guide in the museum, so we waited for two hours. The museum itself is free, but there are two exhibitions that sell tickets for 30 yuan and 150 yuan respectively. We bought the treasure exhibition for 30 yuan. But when I walked into the exhibition hall, I remembered that this exhibition hall was free four years ago.

When I got to the entrance, I found that there was really a crowd of people, and there was no end to the line. Fortunately, I bought the ticket plus the explanation online (ticket + treasure house ticket + explanation), otherwise the line would probably take more than an hour. Shaanxi Museum is worth going! The explanation brother worked so hard, he talked for three hours without stopping, my legs were sore, I give him a thumbs up.

I suggest you watch the Shaanxi History Museum special in the fifth episode of National Treasure before you go. Do your homework in advance. The queue is very long. The tickets are released at 9 o'clock in the morning. There are so many people, just like the Great Wall, which is not an exaggeration, and the flow is limited.

At this time, it is easy to get things done with money. I bought tickets for the Tang Dynasty Treasures Museum at my own expense, so I don't have to queue up, and I can also visit the free museum. I didn't buy tickets for the mural museum for no other reason, it's too expensive.

Selfie sticks are not allowed, remember not to bring them. If you bring them, you can leave them at the door. We bought the tickets online, and they came with a mobile phone explanation, but we forgot to bring headphones, so we had to use the external speaker. There are not many treasures in the mobile phone explanation, and many of them are not available. I basically listened to the tour guides hired by other people throughout the whole process. Since the tour guides in Xi'an now do not shout with external speakers, but each person is given a headset, the channel is adjusted to the same, and the tour guide just needs to explain quietly, so listening requires good hearing.

At that time, we also encountered the only intact kneeling archer figurine on display at the National Treasure Museum. If you really want to see them one by one, one day is not enough. I personally spent 5 hours watching them and felt proud of the splendid and profound Chinese culture.

There were too many visitors to the Provincial Museum. Despite the restrictions on the number of visitors, it was still crowded. Before the door opened at 8 o'clock in the morning, there was already a queue of several hundred meters at the ticket office.

The basic exhibition hall of the Provincial Museum is free, but the tickets are limited. The Treasure Hall is 30 yuan. The Tang Dynasty Mural Treasure Hall is 300 yuan, but it is said that it is not very meaningful for non-professionals to visit, so we chose to give up, mainly because the tickets are too expensive.

There are so many treasures in the Shaanxi History Museum, and with recent variety shows such as "National Treasure Archives" and "Wonderful Night at the Museum", it can be regarded as an Internet celebrity museum. It can be said that the Shaanxi History Museum was the place I was most looking forward to before going to Xi'an, but for various reasons, I did not have a thorough tour, which is a great regret.

I lined up at the entrance to get a ticket with my ID card, which was free. I waited for about five minutes. After passing the security check, I stood in the center of the courtyard and admired it for a while. The weather was fine and my mood was good. I looked at the visiting map at the entrance and prepared to go in. When I walked into the hall, I saw the first lion in the East. It was so magnificent, a super big lion.

Then I rented two audio guides, each for 30 yuan, with a deposit of 100 yuan, and I could also use my ID card as a deposit.

The preface hall, hall 1, hall 2, and hall 3 are worthy of being one of the nine major museums in China. It is well-deserved. I suggest that you can read the issue of Shaanxi Museum in the National Treasure before going there to prepare for it. From the early Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, no matter which history you are interested in, it will be an excellent trip and absolutely worth it. Each hall will be super shocking. In addition to the introduction of the interpreter, you will also consciously or unconsciously get the explanation of the tour guide. It is recommended that you take as few photos as possible in it, because I personally feel that the things you take pictures of will not be remembered very clearly afterwards. When you see the cultural relics you like for the first time, you can really appreciate it well. It is really fresh in your memory. It may take two or three hours to walk through the three halls carefully. I won’t talk about the specific cultural relics. You can appreciate them in person.

By the way, I just found out that the Silk Road actually has four lines, which really covers the whole world. As you walk out of Hall 3, your guide will also remind you that today's visit ends here.

Shaanxi Museum does not require tickets, you can make an appointment online in advance. If you fail to make an appointment, you can only queue up on site. If you don't want to queue, spend 30 to buy a ticket for the Treasure House. In addition, you must hire a guide. If there are many people, you can pay for a human guide, which costs 100 yuan an hour. It will take at least 3 hours to visit the museum. If you want to have a deep visit, it will not be too much to spend a whole day. If you don't hire a human guide, you can rent an electronic guide for 30 yuan each. The 30 yuan here must be paid in cash, but I personally think that electronic guides are not as good as human guides!

If I hadn't visited the Shaanxi Museum, I would have known that I lacked cultural background. After visiting the Shaanxi Museum, I realized how low my cultural level was. There were too many characters I didn't recognize, and I could only recognize one or two characters in the names of many cultural relics, or even none at all. In that era when technology was not advanced enough, the manufacturing process could be so sophisticated, from the design and use to every pattern, all of them show the wisdom and creativity of the ancients.

I was impressed by a pointed-bottom bottle, which was the most commonly used water-drawing device by the Banpo people. The characteristics of the device are: small mouth, bulging belly, two ears, and pointed bottom. The specific usage of the pointed-bottom bottle is to tie a rope to the two ears first. When the pointed bottom touches the water surface, the bottle will naturally fall down. When the water is filled, it will automatically stand up again, which is very convenient for drawing water. The pointed-bottom bottle has two other advantages. One is that the mouth is small, so it is not easy for water to overflow after it is filled; the other is that there are ears on both sides of the belly of the bottle, which is convenient for carrying on the back or in the hand after the rope is threaded. The amazing phenomenon of the pointed-bottom bottle automatically drawing water is the earliest application of the center of gravity principle in modern physics. Maybe because of my profession and occupation, I have a particularly deep impression of this.

Exquisite and worthwhile. Long queues and crowded exhibits. This is the Shaanxi History Museum on non-weekends. The exquisite agate wine vessels are priceless. I personally like it. The free hall is very large and takes a long time. There is only one paid exhibition hall. There are two types of manual explanations and intelligent explanations in the museum. You can choose by yourself. There are many exhibits. If you are interested in ancient cultural relics, you need to queue up some time in advance. There are many visitors and the time is long. If you want to see it in detail, you need a day.

You need to book tickets in advance for the Shaanxi History Museum. There are 3,000 free tickets in the morning and 3,000 free tickets in the afternoon every day (very popular, it is recommended to book early). If you can't book, you can buy tickets, which seem to be 30 yuan each. I personally think that you must ask for a tour guide, otherwise it will be a waste of time. The tour guide costs 100 yuan and will explain the basic exhibition area (free exhibition area). A tour guide can lead up to 10 tourists to visit. You can join a group to enter. (Don't think about getting the tour guide, because the tour guide's voice is very low, and everyone wears headphones to listen) There was no official tour guide when we went there, and the internship tour guide cost 50 yuan, which was very good. In addition, there is an automatic voice guide machine, with a deposit of 100 yuan and a basic exhibition rental of 30 yuan/unit.

It is said that during the peak tourist season you have to queue up one or two hours in advance. We arrived more than half an hour in advance, queued up separately for the online tickets, and entered the museum smoothly.

There are really many treasures in Shaanxi History Museum, and the national treasures are all exquisite and a feast for the eyes. The advantage of having a guide is that you can browse in a targeted way. They will focus on introducing national treasures. The whole process takes one and a half hours. After the end, if you feel that you still want to explore, you can browse on your own. The cultural and creative store of Shaanxi History Museum also has stamps, but you need to spend 20 to buy a book, and each stamp is only allowed once, which is very stingy. So I bought a roll of tape and left.

Although I am a native of Xi'an, I have never been to any scenic spot in the city. This time, I took the opportunity of a foreign friend to go to the Shaanxi History Museum. I read the guides of the predecessors and did my homework carefully, and then I knew that visiting Shaanxi Museum is like fighting a war. Drawing on everyone's valuable experience, I ordered the ticket for the Treasure House on the ticket selling link of China-TravelNote one day in advance. When I got the ticket at 9:15 the next morning, it was already 9:40 when I entered the museum and lined up to wait for the tour guide to be dispatched. At this time, all the collection guides had been sold out. I finally waited for the second wave of tour guides. A few of us individual tourists gathered enough people and finally entered the venue under the guidance of the tour guide girl. Here I want to praise the girls at the tour guide desk. Each of them was polite, enthusiastic and courteous. I left a good impression. Director, you must remember to give them a raise!

The tour guide led our group of eight people to start from the first exhibition hall. Because the collections in the museum cannot be explained, the tour guide only picked out the important exhibits and gave a brief explanation. There was no time to appreciate them carefully. In addition, we had to take pictures. I didn't even have time to listen to the tour guide's explanation. Each hall was full of silver and silver, and there were crowds in front of the key exhibits. Finally, we came to the exciting fourth exhibition hall, the Treasure Hall. A thousand treasures in two large wine jars were exhibited here. I really don't know who this living Lei Feng in ancient times was. He arranged so many treasures neatly for future generations to take, saving us a lot of trouble. Looking at the golden wine glasses and the priceless agate cups, I couldn't help but imagine that a pair of these wine glasses in my house would be used by me to drink every day when I eat. . It took an hour to explain several exhibition halls. We went back to look at each exhibit carefully. During this period, we listened to several tour guides' explanations. Some of them were very professional. I have to say that the official tour guides of Shaanxi Museum are generally less professional. Also, I have a feeling that no matter what kind of tour guide (except volunteer tour guides), including a history professional I met who came to train newcomers, they all have a common characteristic: they all have a mentality of preventing freeloading. It is a great merit for you to spread the splendid history and culture of the motherland and the glorious civilization created by the ancestors to every Chinese who is proud of the 5,000-year civilization, but you only have money in your eyes. I still hope that you don't always think about the problem like this: you don't spend money and still want to listen to my explanation, how can it be so cheap? ! ,. . Isn't this kind of pattern and bearing too small. . How can it be compared with the half of the style of the magnificent and prosperous Tang Dynasty. .

I read in the guides before that people would be exhausted and weak after visiting the History Museum. However, I felt almost no fatigue after being shocked by the golden and white national treasures. When I went home to take a nap at night, those glittering gold cakes, gold cups, agate gems were still floating in my mind. . .

Shaanxi Provincial Museum uses various forms of displays and exhibitions to reveal the rich cultural connotations of historical relics to the general audience from multiple angles and aspects, showing the profound civilization achievements of the Chinese nation, highlighting the splendid ancient culture of the Shaanxi region, and also reflecting the highest level of China's social, economic and cultural development in different periods.

Tips: If you don’t want to queue up with hundreds of people on site, you can make an appointment on the Shaanxi Museum’s official website 2 weeks in advance. If you make it too early, the website will not have updated the date, and if you make it too late, the appointments will not be fully booked. 2 weeks is just right.

Despite the rain, the line for free tickets was still long enough to reach the intersection. Even the line for special groups had quite a few people. This was when the advantage of online booking came into play. There were only two people in line! However, the ticket window was closed at that time. I waited for 15 minutes before the window opened again. I swiped my ID card and got the ticket.

Laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. In order to watch the excitement and deepen my impression, I hired a guide. There were too many people in the museum, and the guides were all working. I had to wait for them to return and then arrange them according to the order of number calling. There are a maximum of 10 people in a group, each with a headset, and you can take a number and queue up when you get together. For free tickets, you only need to hire a guide for 100 yuan/1 hour/10 people. If you have bought tickets for the Treasure Hall and the Mural Hall, you can hire a guide for 150 yuan/1.5 hours/10 people.

There are many treasures in the museum. Following the guide along the timeline, the wisdom of the ancient people's life and the exquisite craftsmanship are amazing. I like the pottery figurines the most, which are cute and full of humor.

There are really a lot of people in the museum, especially around some famous exhibits, so you need to squeeze in whenever you can, but don't be so busy admiring that you fall behind.

Shaanxi Museum is really great, with a rich collection, ranging from simple stone tools used by ancient humans in the early stages to various artifacts in social life before 1840, spanning more than one million years. In particular, I saw the Du Hu Fu shown in "National Treasure" with my own eyes, and a group of people gathered there to watch it intently.

Shaanxi Museum is well worth a visit. The museum concentrates the essence of Chinese history and is known as the "Chinese Treasure House". It is an art palace that showcases ancient Chinese civilization and Shaanxi history and culture. The museum has more than 370,000 cultural relics, ranging from simple stone tools of ancient humans to various artifacts in social life in the Ming Dynasty. Among them, the bronze wares of the Shang and Zhou dynasties are exquisite, the weapons of the Qin Dynasty are sharp, the pottery figurines of various dynasties are in various shapes, and the murals of Tang tombs are unparalleled in the world...

Shaanxi History Museum is a public welfare institution and is free for tourists. However, Shaanxi History Museum is a little different because some of its treasures are not on public display. If you want to visit these national treasures, you need to spend another 30 yuan to buy a ticket.

Shaanxi History Museum is the first large-scale modern national museum in China, one of the first "AAAA"-level tourist attractions, and is known as "the pearl of the ancient capital and the treasure house of China". It is located at No. 91, Xiaozhai East Road, Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, northwest of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The museum has a collection of 1,717,950 pieces (sets) of cultural relics, including 762 first-class cultural relics and 18 national treasures, of which 2 are the first batch of cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad, ranking among the top museums in China.

The exterior of the Shaanxi History Museum building intentionally highlights the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Chang'an has been the capital of emperors since ancient times. In history, thirteen feudal dynasties, including Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang, have established their capitals here. It has rich above-ground and underground cultural relics, forming Shaanxi's unique historical and cultural features.

The collection of cultural relics ranges from simple stone tools used by ancient humans in the initial stage to various utensils in social life before 1840, spanning more than one million years. The cultural relics are not only numerous and diverse, but also of high quality and great value. It won the Architectural Creation Award of the Architectural Society of China and was recognized as a world-class museum by UNESCO.

Ticket reservations must be made in advance through the WeChat official account of "Shaanxi History Museum Ticketing System": Basic exhibition tickets (free) can be booked 14 days in advance, Tang Dynasty Relics Exhibition (tickets 30, including basic exhibition tickets) and Mural Museum tickets (tickets 200+) can be booked 3 days in advance. After the reservation is successful, you can pick up the ticket with your valid ID and Xi'an "One Code Pass" green code (health code). The official account automatically releases tickets in batches at 18:00, 19:00, 20:00, 21:00, and 22:00 every day. Each reservation order can reserve up to 5 people, and each ID card cannot make a duplicate reservation.



After entering the museum, you can hire a guide in the museum lobby, or scan the code to buy detailed audio guides or rent audio guide equipment. Since we are not very interested in historical relics, we did not buy the guides, but only learned a little about the exhibits through the audio guides of the "Shaanxi History Museum" official account (not the ticket system official account). The audio guides of the official account include short video explanations of the main exhibits, ranging from tens of seconds to several minutes, but they are not completely arranged in the order of display, and the effect is average.



I personally feel that the Tang Dynasty Relics Exhibition does not have too many highlights. In comparison, the three exhibition halls with basic displays are more worth visiting. If you have reserved free tickets, you can visit them first. If you are still not satisfied, you can buy tickets for the Tang Dynasty Relics Exhibition in the museum hall.

If you want to go to the Shaanxi History Museum, remember to make an appointment in advance on the WeChat official account, because you have to make an appointment anyway, and the number of free tickets is limited, so please pay more attention.

Another day of sleeping until almost noon. I went to eat at Zhangji Roujiamo on Ziwu Road, which is also a well-known chain restaurant.



You have to queue up for a long time to enter the Shaanxi Museum. But the content inside is very rich. Most exhibition halls are free to visit, but some exhibition areas or special exhibitions require additional tickets.

No. 91, Xiaozhai East Road (near the intersection of Cuihua Road), 029-85253806, ***

Free tickets have been booked 7 days in advance at midnight on August 16, and paid tickets will be booked for the next day at midnight on August 22. "Ancient Civilization of Shaanxi" (Exhibition Halls 1, 2, and 3) is free.

Free tickets can be collected at the self-service ticket machine with the second-generation ID card

The contact point is on the east side of the central hall of the museum (on the right hand side). You need to draw a number first and then queue up. The Chinese explanation of the basic exhibition costs 100 yuan.



You really have to make a reservation at midnight 7 days in advance. The server was a little down at the beginning, and I didn't log in until 07:00. There were still quite a lot of free tickets.

If you don't buy tickets in advance, you can check in the early morning to see if there are any tickets. Some tickets may be sold out five minutes ago but become available a while later. When you get up and check again, they will definitely be sold out.

I visited two museums that day, and the experience was definitely better at the Forest of Steles Museum. The guide at the Shaanxi Museum spoke too fast, and it felt a bit like the demand was insufficient. I have been to museums in many cities, and I don't think the Shaanxi History Museum is worth so many people. The collections in each museum are not bad. It's better to see the people or the collections.

The Shanghai Museum’s British Museum WeChat official account has audio guides. I listened to them in advance for my daughter, and when she saw the real objects inside, she was clearly impressed. She remembered some things that I didn’t even remember. It would be great if the Shaanxi History Museum had audio guides on WeChat...

Shaanxi History Museum, located in the core geographical location of Xi'an City, belongs to Xi'an Yanta District. It is a national history museum in China. Whether in terms of scale, the number of cultural relics it manages, or the setting of the venue, it is one of the top five national museums in China and even abroad.

If you want to quickly understand the history of Xi'an, you must go to the Shaanxi History Museum. Follow the guide to go in and you will learn a lot of history. It's just that there are too many people during holidays, so it is recommended to book tickets online in advance.

Shaanxi History Museum, China's first large-scale modern national museum, one of the first batch of Chinese "AAAA" level tourist attractions, is known as "the pearl of the ancient capital, the treasure house of China". It is located at No. 91, Xiaozhai East Road, Yanta District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, northwest of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. The museum has a collection of 1,717,950 pieces (sets) of cultural relics, including 762 pieces (sets) of first-class cultural relics and 18 pieces (sets) of national treasures, of which 2 are the first batch of cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad, ranking among the top museums in China. The appearance of the Shaanxi History Museum building deliberately highlights the style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Chang'an has been the capital of emperors since ancient times. In history, thirteen feudal dynasties, including Zhou, Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang, have successively established their capitals here. It has rich above-ground and underground cultural relics, forming Shaanxi's unique historical and cultural features.

This museum is a Tang-style building complex with a "central hall and four corner towers". The main and secondary buildings are well-organized, the heights are staggered, the momentum is majestic and solemn, and it integrates national traditions, local characteristics and the spirit of the times. The museum covers an area of 65,000 square meters. The building area is 55,600 square meters, the cultural relics storage area is 8,000 square meters, and the exhibition hall area is 11,000 square meters. From the simple stone tools used by ancient humans in the initial stage to various utensils in social life before 1840, the time span is more than one million years. The cultural relics are not only numerous and complete in variety, but also high in taste and value. Among them, the bronzes of the Shang and Zhou dynasties are exquisite, the pottery figurines of various dynasties are in various shapes, the gold and silver wares of the Han and Tang dynasties are unique in the country, and the murals of the Tang tombs are unparalleled in the world. It can be said to be a dazzling array of exquisite products. This kind of museum is definitely a must-see attraction.

The most recommended place in the whole Xi'an, the explanation is really great, there are 3 treasures in the town hall, 1 of which is said to never be exhibited abroad. The three halls can be understood as, one is free, one is Hejiacun cultural relics for 30 yuan, and one is Datang treasure for 150 yuan. It is recommended to go to the first 2 (remember to make an online reservation in advance, because there are so many people, so many people!). If you go there at noon, you will come out at more than 3 o'clock. It is near Xiaozhai subway station. It is just right to go to Da Ci'en Temple (Big Wild Goose Pagoda) after here, which is within walking distance, and then go to Datang City that Never Sleeps at night.

It's great, but the queue is really long. When I went there, there were so many people no matter what kind of ticket I bought!!! I waited in line for more than an hour to buy the Treasure House, and waited for more than 40 minutes for the explanation. Don't choose the second or third time period. It's best to choose the earliest or latest time period (Brother Wanxin said, yes, Brother Wanxin is my guide. I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet Brother Wanxin when I was pulled into a group). The explanation is great!!! I love Xi'an and its cultural relics!!! It's really great!!! I will watch it again!!!

Shaanxi Provincial History Museum is the best museum I've visited (except Beijing), no doubt about it. For me who likes history, this is a must-go, but everyone must inquire about the closing time in advance. I went there twice. There is also the problem of ticket exchange. At that time, I bought a ticket for the Treasure House and could enter directly. If you use your ID card to exchange for free tickets, you have to wait for a long time. It would be better if there were more professional tour guides. I feel that the one I watched on the Discovery Channel that introduced the contents of the collections of the Treasure House was not as detailed as the one I saw on the Discovery Channel.

You must make a reservation successfully on the official account to enter for free, otherwise you can't enter even if you show up!!! It's really annoying that I can't get the free tickets on the official account, only the 300 yuan ticket is available! I can only buy the ticket on Taobao for 55 yuan, which is really a bad review!

I don't need to introduce the Shaanxi History Museum too much. For tourists coming to Xi'an, the Shaanxi History Museum should be listed as a first-class recommended attraction along with the Terracotta Warriors, Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the ancient city wall! Once again, be sure to make an online reservation in advance before visiting the Shaanxi History Museum! ! ! You can rent an electronic guide at the entrance, or if there are many people, it would be better to hire a guide. (The electronic guide is very stiff and it is easy to lose focus while listening. It is far inferior to a professional guide)

Friends who want to come, remember to come early. The door opens at 8:30. We arrived before 8 o'clock and bought the 30-yuan ticket for the exhibition hall. There are indeed fewer people than the free ones. Those who pay line up on the right side of the gate, and those who don't pay line up on the left. Remember, after entering the door, it is recommended to find someone to join in the explanation, 10/person, it is worth it. If you see it by yourself, you will just be a cursory look.

There are volunteer guides inside the official website who are very good! ! They are super good, they explain word by word without rushing, and they are not at the same level as the tour guides hired for the Terracotta Warriors. I went alone and it should be an aunt named Ma. The explanation was very detailed and great, but there was still more than an hour before I had to get on the train, so I had to miss the whole explanation. I am very sorry. I hope that I will set aside a day to listen to it next time. I didn’t go upstairs and I was just a quick tour. In short, it is a highlight of traveling to Xi’an! By the way, the Sun’s Roujiamo in Huimin Street is not only expensive but also unpalatable. There is a queue for some reason.

The Shaanxi History Museum is located in the northwest direction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the two are very close. You can get your ticket with your ID card. The museum opens at 9 am. There are people queuing up at 7 am on weekdays, and it may be even earlier during holidays.

The cultural relics exhibited in Shaanxi Museum range from 1.15 million years ago to 1840. The exhibits are rich, including bronzes, pottery, Tang tri-colored glazed pottery, currency, architecture, religion, etc.

The first, second and third exhibition halls of Shaanxi Museum are divided into seven parts according to the order of historical progress, namely prehistory, Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

I visited Shaanxi Museum twice, and each time I spent at least half a day to see the general idea. Although I don't remember many cultural relics clearly, my personal feeling is that it is worth seeing: the content is very rich, and I have a direct impression of history. It is useless to say more here, you need to experience it carefully by yourself.

Because it is closed on Monday, there will be a huge crowd as usual on Tuesday. You must line up early or you will not be able to buy tickets due to the flow limit. The young and strong should line up early to buy tickets, and the elderly and children can arrive later. Or you can only take the back door. You can make an appointment for free tickets online with your ID card, but you have to make an appointment a long time in advance. If you pay, the ticket is 30 yuan/person and HuangNiu is 50 yuan/person. Think about how to enter in advance when you go. Because there are so many people, you have to line up to hire a tour guide, 150 yuan/10 people, and there are exactly ten of us. The tour guides at Shaanxi Museum are all very handsome~ There are also the most authentic items here~ So I felt like I went to a fake museum yesterday... The most important thing is that the same thing has two interpretations, which makes us, the uneducated listeners, feel confused~ The children performed very well~ There is a lot of content in Shaanxi Museum, they have persisted, and they are very serious. I think my daughter thinks these treasures are so beautiful.

In my humble opinion: Although time is life, the Shaanxi History Museum is worth a visit! Seeing it, your life will be complete and without regrets!



Haven’t you seen: the spirit of Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties has nourished the country for thousands of years, and the soul of the Chinese nation flows thousands of miles!



Someone once said: If China is a tree, Beijing is the crown of the tree, and Shaanxi is the root of the tree!



Shaanxi Museum mainly displays cultural relics from four great dynasties related to Shaanxi: Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang. These ancient Chinese empires are famous, their emperors have achieved great success, and their cultural accumulation has influenced China for thousands of years without decline, great goodness and beauty! To count the dynasties, we still need to look at our Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang! The permanent exhibition of Shaanxi Museum has exquisite cultural relics, detailed annotations, and appropriate complexity and simplicity. Here, we can fully appreciate the prudent Zhou, the heroic Qin, the strong Han, and the prosperous Tang! Traveling among the physical cultural relics of these great dynasties in the glass curtain walls, it is very easy to become a Zhou ritualist, a Qin soldier, a Han warrior, and a Tang scholar. The sons and daughters of China should all come here to feel the beauty, strength and magnificence of their ancestors, so as to better inherit and spread the brilliant culture and civilization of their ancestors, and accumulate the necessary courage and confidence for the Chinese Empire to rise again in the future!



The amazing prosperity of China during the Zhou, Qin, Han and Tang dynasties is not far away; it has already turned into the blood flowing in the body and soul of the Chinese people. We only hope that the heroic deeds of our ancestors will guide us to expand our territory and create greater glory.



Cuihua, serve the roujiamo!
