#timetotravel This is Jianchuan Museum located in a small town of Anren in Dayi County, Chengdu. It takes 1 hour and half to get here so I suggest that you come here during weekend so you can also explore this little town which is really nice and chill. So this Jinchuan museum show different exhibits from different important events that happened in China form WWII, Sichuan's earthquake, heroes hall/monuments and the history of the lotus feet (foot binding tradition in ancient China). It was a very interesting and fascinating visit to this museum which took us almost 2 hours to explore. It is also interesting to know that is owned privately by a man call Mr. Jianchuan Fan, he started collecting artifacts when he was younger due to his obsession in Chinese history. He has collected apparently over 8 million artifacts which are some of them are what we see in this museum. I highly recommend it! Address: Anren Town, Dayi County.

Transportation tips - It is recommended to drive there because the distance between the ancient city and the museum is still a bit far. Remember to park in the official parking lot. There will be many middle-aged ladies on the road waving at you to park. It costs 10 yuan. Remember to park in front of the hotel, otherwise those irregular will charge you. The local attraction - Anren Ancient Town, is a very comfortable and diverse ancient town, with many different kinds of food and snacks. Although it is not very large, it is still highly recommended to visit. You must leave more time to visit the Jianchuan Museum because it is really huge. I visited one-third of the museum and still nothing happened. It took me about 3 to 4 hours. Hotel-It is recommended not to book a hotel in the ancient city. Because it's too troublesome to drag the luggage in. It is recommended to stay in a hotel about 5 minutes walk from the ancient city. Food and restaurants - Maoxuewang, it's really delicious. It's really different from the one in Chengdu. It feels more fragrant and spicy. Shopping Guide - There is not much to the shopping guide, it's all about walking around and eating in the ancient town. In general, it is recommended to go for two days and one night on the weekend
