Qingzhou Smile---Qingzhou Museum

If you have a passion for history and culture, you should visit Qingzhou Museum at least once in your lifetime. Not for anything else, but to see the "Qingzhou Smile". An unexpected discovery of a cellar over 60 square meters unearthed several hundred Buddha statues! It's astonishing how each and every one of them is a national treasure, spanning from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the Tang and Song periods. The process of Sinicization of Buddhism is very well embodied in these statues. Standing in front of these Buddha statues, seeing the gentle smiles on their faces, you will feel an inexplicable touch. It might be an unnamed force deeply moving your heart.
