It was obviously the first stop, but I was shocked to have walked 20,000 steps a day! This free museum is a true fitness training ground for culture buffs.
🌟 Must-See Highlights
✅ Museum Treasures:
- "Western Han Dynasty Golden Beast" from the Chu Kingdom: Crafted from 9,100 grams of pure gold

- Freshly made Yuhua Tea Cakes at the Republican-style "Old Teahouse"
- Must-try plum blossom cakes at the Six Dynasties Restaurant
