Know Chaohu Lake, Visit Chaohu Lake, and Understand Chaohu Lake

If you want to understand a city, you should visit its museums. 🕣8:30-🕟16:30 (ps: Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Monday) 🏛️Chaohu City Museum is located on a small hill. You need to climb a flight of stairs to enter the museum and register. The museum is divided into three floors, each with different exhibition halls. 🛖The first floor exhibits Chaohu Lake and Chaohu Lake's intangible cultural heritage and farming culture from ancient times. I saw the formation of Chaohu Lake's geology, local cultural food, etc. I visited the museum and learned about the local specialties 🍲Chaohu Lake fish feast, Yipin Yudai Cake (this is the Yudai Cake conferred by Emperor Qianlong) 🏺The second floor is the history and culture of Chaohu Lake, where historical relics unearthed in Chaohu Lake are displayed. Walking in, a sand table restores the Tuoju Battle. There are also ancient articles written by historical figures when they traveled to Chaohu Lake, such as Lu You's "Chaoshan", Ouyang Xiu's "Watching Flowers in Xianren Cave", and Wang Anshi's "Two Poems on Fan Zeng" (Speaking of Fan Zeng, I only knew about the Hongmen Banquet before, but today I know that he is also from Chaohu Lake, and the place names such as "Yafu" in Chaohu Lake refer to him, and my knowledge has increased again📚) 🟥The third floor is the revolutionary history of Chaohu. Like the second floor, it is a circular exhibition hall. The heroic deeds of the martyrs are awe-inspiring. The model of the "First Ship Crossing the River" in the Battle of Crossing the River restores the cruelty of the time and the fearlessness of the martyrs. The museum is free. It says online that reservations are required, but you can just go there (ps: when I called to ask, it seems that reservations can be made for tours for more than 15 people)
