At the beginning of May, the Xinjiang Museum, with its mummy figurines' expression packs and Hetian jade, can rival tourist attractions

🍃 Is the peak tourist season in Xinjiang starting from the May Day holiday? 🍃 I thought that there would be a lot of people during the May Day holiday, so I decided to avoid some popular tourist spots and go to the museum instead, thinking it would be less crowded. But, but... Before the Xinjiang Museum even opened, there were already countless people waiting at the door to get in! There must have been at least dozens, if not hundreds. Is it really that popular? I'm dizzy! 🍃 The Xinjiang Museum is truly a treasure trove of a museum. It is one of the first batch of national first-class museums, with one underground floor and two above-ground floors, housing many precious exhibits. 🌸 【Highlights】 🔸 The mummy exhibition hall contains more than a dozen mummies, ranging from the pre-Qin period to the Tang dynasty, truly a 'national treasure.' Because the images are a bit scary, I won't post them. 🔸 Various figurines, clay servants, tomb-guarding beasts, etc., are lifelike. There are large group figurines as well as individual tomb-guarding beasts, the Four Heavenly Kings, or character servants, all worth seeing. 🔸 Some cultural relics are both beautiful and fun, like picture 5, which can be used as an expression pack! 🔸 The Hetian white jade (picture 7) is really too beautiful! So beautiful even after so many years! It's now very hard to see real Hetian jade, as the vast majority is Qinghai jade, which is not as white or as delicate and smooth. 🔸 The 'Painted Fuxi and Nuwa Silk Painting' in picture 9 is from the Tang dynasty, and it has been over 1000 years, yet it still looks lifelike! ❤️ Friends traveling to Urumqi in Xinjiang, don't miss out on the Xinjiang Museum, this treasure of a free destination!
