Step into the Xiamen Agarwood Museum | Embark on a magical agarwood journey.

| Embark on a magical agarwood journey. 🎉 Xiamen has a new museum - the Agarwood Museum! On November 1, 2024, the China (Xiamen) Agarwood Cultural and Creative Park opened, and a new museum star was born. 😎 As soon as you step into the museum, your eyes will be drawn to the giant agarwood carving of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival," the museum's treasure. It is the largest agarwood "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" in the world! This masterpiece took 3.8 tons of agarwood, is 6.88 meters high and 3 meters wide, and was meticulously carved by more than 30 skilled craftsmen over 1,300 days. Standing in front of it, the shock is indescribable, as if you can travel through time and feel the charm of the perfect fusion of ancient culture and precious agarwood. 👍 In this museum, it's like opening a door to the world of agarwood, showcasing the origins of agarwood worldwide, various types of incense, wonderful ways to use incense, and the mysterious incense silk road. 🧐 Although we usually know more or less about agarwood, you will find here that what you know is just the tip of the iceberg. There is a detailed introduction to agarwood and its classification. For example, in terms of the conditions for agarwood to form, it can be roughly divided into four categories: "mature," "immature," "fallen," and "worm-eaten." The formation of "agarwood" can be described as a magical spell of nature. It is a special resin secreted by the trees of the Thymelaeaceae family after being struck by lightning, battered by storms, accidentally climbed and bumped by animals, and gnawed by ants and insects. However, the story does not end there. During this process, the tree's wound is infected by a special fungus, and then, like a wonderful chemical reaction, after being washed by nature, it finally forms a precious special oil, which is what we call agarwood. Moreover, after the agarwood tree begins to form agarwood, it has to go through a very long growth period! A piece of high-quality agarwood takes at least a few years or more than ten years to form, and at most, it takes decades or even hundreds of years. No wonder its yield is so rare and precious, like a rare treasure. 👏 There is also an incense hall, an incense school, and an intangible cultural heritage incense-making hall. 🎊 Opposite the museum is the agarwood e-commerce live broadcast base square. The richness of the agarwood world is like opening a mysterious treasure box. Agarwood lovers, don't miss this great place! Here, you can not only learn about agarwood but also admire various exquisite agarwood ornaments! 😜 Whether you want to learn more about agarwood culture or simply appreciate these exquisite artworks, this place is worth a visit! 💕
