Nantong Museum | The first museum independently established by Chinese people.

Founded by the top scholar Zhang Jian in 1905, it is the first public museum in China. It is a comprehensive museum that integrates the concept of ancient Chinese gardens and Western museums. My biggest feeling after visiting is: As expected of Jiangsu! This is the most comfortable museum I have ever seen. ☝🏿 You can enjoy the garden while visiting the museum. ☺ · The museum is very large, and the collections are divided into four parts: natural, historical, artistic, and educational. The most shocking and novel thing for me is the animal bones and specimens in the natural museum, which are very realistic and interesting. 🤔 ·Tour order: Enter the new museum from the gate. 🎈First floor 1. Ancient charm of Jianghai, exhibition of ancient civilization in Nantong, with tools and utensils used by ancient people 2. Peking Opera Exhibition, let children understand Peking Opera characters 3. Cultural and creative shop, the cultural and creative ice cream of the museum can be bought here, and commemorative silver and gold coins are displayed on the vending machine, which are exquisitely made. 🎈The second floor mainly introduces the life of Zhang Jian and the history of Nantong. Zhang Jian's contributions to education and economic development are really great, and I have never seriously understood them before. 📍Natural Museum, in the building opposite. There are many specimens of marine animals, whale bones, etc. There are also interactive mini-games in the museum, and children like it very much! After coming out of the Ocean Museum, there is another world, with different kinds of trees and plants, and the whole museum is scattered in the park, the South Museum (specimens of birds, beasts, and insects), and the Central Museum (meteorological observation). 🎈Haonan Bieye is the former residence of Mr. Zhang Jian, mainly displaying his life experience and great achievements, but the most attractive thing is the wisteria in front of the former residence. Wisteria blooms in April, with a flowering period of more than ten days, hanging down like a waterfall, which is very beautiful. Many photo studios use this place as a location for wedding photos. The architecture of Nantong Museum is a combination of old and new, with a strong cultural atmosphere, and you can take good photos casually. You can bring your children to have a look. 📍Address: No. 19, Haonan Road, Chongchuan District Ticket: Free (Haonan Bieye ticket is 10) 🚇West Metro: Take Metro Line 1 to Youyiqiao Station, exit from Exit 4, and walk 800 meters south along Huancheng East Road. 🚗🚕P Parking: There is a parking lot, 6 yuan/hour for the first 2 hours, and the whole museum can be visited in two hours!
