Hangzhou Weekend Special Forces|Yinxu Museum

Saturday: Fly from Hangzhou to Handan✈️, rent a car upon landing and drive straight to Anyang, about 1 hour. The first stop is the legendary place where Cao Cao "built a platform to recruit talents"—🏯 Bronze Sparrow Terrace (Tongque Terrace, Jinfeng Terrace, Bingjing Terrace), 🚗 30 minutes drive. Then visited ⚰️ Cao Cao's Gaoling Mausoleum, filled with various painkillers, the "realness" of history hit immediately, instantly understanding what it means that "even a hero in chaotic times fears headaches"🤣, 🚗 30 minutes drive. In the afternoon, arranged a visit to Yinxu Museum, 🚗 about 1 hour drive. Booked a guided tour at 2 PM in advance. A full 3.5 hours of immersive absorption of Shang Dynasty history! From deciphering the mysterious oracle bone script symbols to closely viewing the millennia-old luster of bronze artifacts, every piece of knowledge was packed densely yet never boring—history buffs were ecstatic on the spot, and the guide was incredibly detailed. Sunday: Continue checking in at the Yinxu Ruins, walk into Fuhao’s Tomb and the Chariot and Horse Pit, having a true "mutual encounter" with the Shang Dynasty from textbooks, visit time 1 hour. At noon, transfer to Ye City Archaeological Museum (‼️free!), 🚗 1 hour drive. This is the country’s first specialized Buddhist sculpture museum, with stunning Buddhist statues from the Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, and Northern Qi dynasties, visit time 1 hour. Afterwards, head straight to Beixiangtangshan Grottoes, 🚗 1 hour drive, the stone carvings are very delicate, visit time 3 hours. This was also my first time visiting grottoes, hoping to visit Datong in the future. Return to the airport, 🚗 1 hour drive, Handan Airport is very small, arriving 1 hour early is sufficient.
