#Literary Traveler #history #ancientart #shenzhen #daytrip #flashmob #shenzhenmuseum #grandtheaterstation #honglingnanstation The top floor of Shenzhen Museum (Tongxin Road Museum) once hosted an exhibition of cultural relics of Hubei princes in the Ming Dynasty titled "Fan Ping Tianxia". The time is from April 26 to July 28, 2024, and the location is exhibition halls 1 to 4. The purpose of the exhibition is to look at the lives of the princes of the Ming Dynasty through cultural relics, especially after events such as the reduction of the feudal system. It is indeed a very special subject, suitable for people who are interested in history.

#Literary Traveler #history #ancientart #shenzhen #daytrip #flashmob #shenzhenmuseum #grandtheaterstation #honglingnanstation One of the special exhibitions of Shenzhen Museum (Tongxin Road Branch) is the permanent exhibition of ancient (Qin/Han/Tang) bronze ware, located in Exhibition Halls 10-12. Compared with other exhibits, these bronze artifacts appear primitive and rough, but careful observation reveals that some Han Dynasty craftsmen made animals that are more lifelike than those made in later generations. It seems that it is not necessarily a problem of craftsmanship, but rather the artistic touch and talent of the craftsman himself. People who like ancient art will probably like this exhibition.

In China there is such diversity in landscapes, architecture and traditional history. It’s fascinating to discover it all. #discoverchina My top tip for you on your journey to China is to make a check list of your top attractions. Once you find the most famous attraction in your destination city then ask around for another local gem. Many times you will find more historical locations or wonderful art pieces that wasn’t on your tour list. So, take your time. Chinese cities are a mix of traditional communities and modern additions. My best recommendations : Go for a hike in country parks. Pick the restaurants w/the most decorations. Sit by the pond. You will gather new insight.

Go to the exhibitions in Shenzhen for an array of ancient relics and modern styles of architecture. Do you propose that the ancient people who made these earthen dishes ever imagined that others would find them in a multilevel museum with glass wall elevators? Simply a quirky thought. #discoverchina Either way, Shenzhen boasts some of the most fantastic exhibitions in Futian and Nanshan districts. Art collectors, leaders and civilians from all over SE China visit these exhibition halls. See you there! 📍Address: Shenzhen, Guangdong, China 🎟️ Tickets: Varying

The park is the obvious place too get green. #discoverchina Watching the sunset is my favorite past time. While traveling it’s always one activity that can be added to our list of must-sees. Watching the sunset from different locations around the globe is exciting. Here in South China, the sunsets are usually warm and glowing orange. The light is bright in the sky. The skies are crystal clear. Once the sun is beyond the horizon it’s fun to meet friends to drink tea.

#ShenzhenItinerary As you step into the Shenzhen Museum, a solemn cultural atmosphere hits you. The exhibition halls in the museum are divided into chronological order, telling the story of Shenzhen's extraordinary transformation from a small fishing village to an international city. Bronzes and ceramics seem to whisper the historical events of ancient South China; and in the special exhibition hall of reform and opening up, the yellowed photos and historical objects vividly depict the exciting years when Shenzhen dared to be the first in the world. Standing in front of the simulated scene of Luohu Port, I seemed to see countless pioneers with dreams in their hearts, crossing the tide of the times and injecting endless vitality into this city. What attracted me most was a huge digital screen wall that displayed Shenzhen’s future planning blueprint, which was very inspiring. Even after leaving the museum, the aftertaste remains. This is not only a treasure trove of history, but also a mirror that reflects the soul of the city, allowing people to have a deeper understanding of Shenzhen’s past and future.

The weekend is a time to #discoverchina ! ! Shenzhen has a myriad of green parks. There are small parks for leisure, big parks for sports or friendly picnics. Shenzhen boasts its desirable climatic region by offering green spaces across the city. The tropical plants add lush vibes. In spring catch views of giant MuMian flowers. These are a unique tree species to Guangdong region. The flowers are large and sweet filled with nectar. The birds and insects can be seen fluttering around the tree tops. #parksandgardens #flowerlover #踏青赏花正当时 #海滩 #travelinspiration #traveltips #travelphotography

At the end of last month, I went on a one-day trip to Shenzhen with friends. Our first stop in the morning was the Shenzhen Museum Tongxin Road Branch (Ancient Art) located next to Lychee Park. We mainly visited the museum's latest permanent exhibition: Sit and Sleep: Shenzhen Museum's Bed and Couch Exhibition. This exhibition features over 100 exquisite beds and couches from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China period, including the museum's collection of Luohan beds, canopy beds, and bed cabinets. We were able to closely admire the meticulously crafted bed artifacts and learn about the craftsmanship of ancient Chinese beds, as well as the cultural and spiritual pursuits they embody. The related exhibits are currently on display in Exhibition Halls 1-4 at the Shenzhen Museum Tongxin Road Branch (Ancient Art), which is about a 10-minute walk from the Shenzhen Grand Theater subway station. Additionally, visitors can also explore other exhibitions in the museum, such as the seal exhibition, bronze exhibition, and ceramics exhibition.

| Tongxin Road (Ancient Art Museum). A museum with very few visitors. I went there with low expectations, but I still saw a lot of cultural relics. 🪨 The Tongxin Road Museum has four floors. The first floor is ancient ceramics. Going upstairs, you can see tri-colored glazed pottery, bronze ware, seals, reform and opening up, bed furniture wood carving. The cultural relics mainly come from non-local sources, divided into: transfer, confiscation, donation, collection. The "Tang Sancai" content is very good. 🎫 No reservation is required, just go directly, 9-18 o'clock, closed on Monday. 🚇 Get off at Hongling South or Science Museum and walk for 10 minutes.

【Visit】: Museum of Ancient Art Take the subway to the Museum of Ancient Art, and enter through the South Gate or West Gate. Kind tips: 1. Unlike the History and Folklore Museum, stamp collection is uniformly located at the front desk (one in each exhibition hall). 2. Visiting order: Take the elevator to the top floor and visit in a clockwise direction from top to bottom! I would like to express my feelings here. Although the way of visiting from top to bottom is very strange (I have only seen this one so far), the experience of visiting is very good and it is done in one go. In addition to the elevators, there are also ramps (barrier-free access) at the corners of each floor. I encountered one that was suitable for wheelchair users. It is very user-friendly! It would be better if the staff could properly guide the tourists in the order of visiting at the entrance. There are two special exhibitions on the 4-3 floor: 1. Classics glorify China: an exhibition of four major discoveries of ancient Chinese documents in the early 20th century. 2. The Way of Inheritance - Rare Ancient Books in the Collection Department of Shenzhen Museum There are free tour guides at 14:30 and 15:30 respectively. It is recommended to listen while visiting. Classic books glorify China Jointly organized by the National Library of China, the First Historical Archives of China, the Gansu Museum of Bamboo Slips, the Dunhuang Academy, and the Shenzhen Museum, the exhibition will last until March 10, 2024. This exhibition is the largest exhibition to date of cultural relics related to the "Four Great Disciplines" (oracle bone studies, Dunhuang studies, bamboo slips studies, and Qing Imperial Cabinet Archives). You can learn about the various carriers of the development of Chinese classics in one stop, and start a journey to trace the origins of Chinese culture. In addition to oracle bone inscriptions, bamboo slips, and Tibetan or Sogdian scriptures in the Dunhuang Grottoes, you can also see Kangxi's will, Daoguang's succession, Cixi's drafting of the imperial edict, Qianlong's examination papers for the arts, and copperplate engravings of the 20 views of the Western-style buildings in the Old Summer Palace... "The Way of Inheritance" is a series of exhibitions. According to the sequence of classics, history, philosophy and collections, it extracts the unique humanistic and historical themes of various categories of ancient book exhibits, and comprehensively displays the rare books in the collection to the audience over seven years. It breaks through the general display ideas of ancient books in China. It is an exploration and attempt by the Shenzhen Museum in the protection and utilization of ancient books and the promotion of China's excellent traditional culture. Currently on display is the theme content of "Lingnan in Poetry and Prose" in the collection. Such as Su Shi's "I eat 300 lychees a day" and "Wherever my heart is at peace is my hometown", which are suitable for friends who love literature.

The Shenzhen Museum of Ancient Art is located in Futian District. This is a special exhibition that tells the history of the vassal kings of Hubei during the Ming Dynasty. Some of the objects on display were things I had never seen before. The illustrations are very detailed, but the font is too small. #Shenzhen Attractions
