I've been to the Shanxi Bronze Museum three times, and I've finally figured it out.

Here's a guide to visiting the Shanxi Bronze Museum: Preparation • Reservations: Follow the official WeChat account of the "Shanxi Museum" and make a reservation three days in advance (including the same day) by selecting the Bronze Branch in "Visit Service - Visit Reservation". • Learn about the exhibitions: Learn about the exhibition content through the official website and WeChat official account. You can also watch documentaries about the excavation of large Jin tombs and introductions to related treasures of the museum to increase your understanding of the exhibits. Visiting Route • Fourth Floor: Start your visit on the fourth floor. First, see "Imprints of China" to understand the position of Jin culture in Chinese civilization, and then see "Ritual and Music of Spring and Autumn" to experience the essence of bronze ware and ritual and music civilization. • Third Floor: Go to the "Exemplary Craftsmanship" exhibition hall on the third floor to explore the advanced techniques of ancient bronze casting. • Second Floor: Visit the "Digital Bronze" exhibition and temporary exhibition hall on the second floor to deepen your understanding of bronze culture through interactive experiences. Key Exhibits • Duke Wen of Jin's Platter: A national first-class cultural relic, it was a wedding gift from Duke Wen of Jin, Chong'er, to his beloved daughter, Meng Ji. • The Chariot with Attendants and Animal Enclosure: One of the top ten treasures of the Shanxi Museum, it was a high-end toy for aristocrats in the Western Zhou Dynasty. • The Zhaoqing Chariot and Horse Pit: The tomb of a high-ranking Jin aristocrat from the Spring and Autumn Period, it is the highest-ranking, largest-scale, and most richly furnished tomb of its kind. Other Experiences • Guided Tours: You can make a reservation for a timed guided tour at the service desk on the first floor, rent an audio guide device, or use the official mini-program "Shanxi Museum Audio Guide". • Stamp Collection: Free stamps are available on the second floor, and paid stamps are available in the cultural and creative store on the first floor. • Nearby Leisure: The museum is located in the Changfeng Business District, north of the Shanxi Grand Theater, east of the Shanxi Science and Technology Museum, and next to the Mixc.
