Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Museum! A must-see historical treasure!

The Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Museum is one of Nanning's most important museums. Its distinctive exterior cleverly incorporates Zhuang bronze drums, stilt houses, and other ethnic elements. The museum features numerous exhibitions, so plan to spend 2-3 hours exploring them.

⭐️Treasures⭐️
🪔 The renowned **Feather-Patterned Bronze Phoenix Lamp (Western Han Dynasty)**, featuring an exquisitely designed phoenix-shaped body, is eco-friendly, channeling fumes into clean water within the abdominal cavity, ensuring clean air. It also served as the prototype for the museum's logo!

⭐️ The **Flying Heron Bronze Drum (Western Han Dynasty)**, a treasure of bronze drum culture, boasts clear and exquisite patterns (such as flying herons, rowing boats, and feathered figures dancing), making it an important reference for studying ancient Zhuang social life and dating.

🐴 The **Large Bronze Horse (Western Han Dynasty)**, with its towering stature, muscular build, and powerful limbs, is a nationally rare large-scale bronze horse sculpture from the Han Dynasty.

⭐️Others⭐️
🌟 Across from the museum's main entrance is the **Guangxi Ethnic Cultural Relics Garden**, an outdoor "ethnic grand garden" where you can directly experience Guangxi's diverse ethnic cultures.
For example, iconic structures like the Dong ethnic group's Wind and Rain Bridge and Drum Tower, with their mortise and tenon joint construction, require no nails, resulting in exquisite beauty and perfect for photographing. The Zhuang ethnic group's stilt houses are a classic example of "living upstairs and raising livestock downstairs," adapted to the humid and hot climate of southern China.

🌟 Near the exit is the **Chinese Animation Classic Retrospective Exhibition**, bringing childhood memories of Nezha and the Calabash Brothers cartoons to life!
