A national first-class museum on par with the Forbidden City. Currently hosting the first-ever exhibition of Sanxingdui and Jinsha cultural relics in Qingzhou, displaying nearly 200 artifacts including bronze, gold, jade, and stone items. The exhibition showcases the unique creativity of ancient civilizations like Bashu, Yelang, Ancient Dian, and Ouluo, as well as their integration with Central Plains civilization.

2️⃣ Qingzhou Ancient City
Walk on 600-year-old bluestone roads and play hopscotch at the Hengwang Mansion stone archway. You must visit Ou Garden and the Catholic Church! Rush into "Fucai Gate" at dusk for an incredibly beautiful golden filter effect, and enjoy the atmospheric reflections in the moat!

3️⃣ Tuo Mountain Grottoes
The stone carvings here are treasures of Oriental art, featuring exquisite craftsmanship, smooth and delicate lines that will leave you in awe of the ancient artisans' superior skills.
