    "I am a museum control, but I have stepped on many pits, such as Xiamen Museum, Guiyang Museum, Shaoxing Museum... so I dare not hold much hope. But Jingzhou Museum is definitely an underestimated place. There are many exhibits and many national-level cultural relics. I thought it was only two floors, but I didn't expect there to be a treasure museum behind it. ​ If yesterday's magnificent and spectacular train and horse formations saw the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty, today is the brilliant culture and historical impact of the entire Chudi. The museum doesn't like to take pictures, because the photos can't see the culture and history, and you need to see it as a reality. ​ Today, I almost ran to Jingzhou's somewhat famous attractions. The others are really boring, but the museum is worthwhile."

    Highlights: As a local museum, the collection of Jingzhou Museum is not poor and has distinct local characteristics. In Jingzhou Museum, you can see various jade ornaments of prehistoric craftsmanship; silk from the Warring States Period; the sword of King Yue and the spear of King Fuchai of Wu, which are shining with cold light and look like new; and colorful and exquisitely crafted lacquerware from the Warring States Period, Qin and Han Dynasties. The museum also houses the world's earliest mathematical monograph "Arithmetic Book" and Xiao He's "Two-Year Law" and other bamboo slips from the early Han Dynasty; the treasure of the town is: the "Western Han Male Corpse", which has been preserved for a long time and is relatively well preserved so far.The cultural relics exhibition of Jingzhou Museum is divided into two exhibition areas: the front yard and the back yard. The exhibition building in the front yard is the basic exhibition. That is, representative cultural relics are selected in the order of historical development, showing the history of civilization development in Jingzhou from the Neolithic Age to the Qin and Han Dynasties. There are two special exhibitions: "Jianghan Plain Primitive Culture Exhibition" and "Jianghan Plain Chu-Han Culture Exhibition".The treasure hall in the backyard exhibition area has three special exhibitions. The special exhibition "Han Tomb No. 168 in Fenghuang Mountain, Jingzhou" displays the treasure of the town: a male corpse of the Western Han Dynasty unearthed in the ancient capital of Chu, Jinan City in 1975, as well as his coffin and burial objects. According to the written records unearthed in the tomb, the deceased was buried in the 13th year of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty (167 BC), earlier than the female corpse in the Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha. The male corpse has been buried underground for more than 2,000 years without decay, which is rare in the world. The "one coffin and two coffins" that contained the male corpse are well preserved. The large coffin chamber and two sets of coffins indicate the noble status of the owner. The exhibition also displays hundreds of burial objects, including two items with unique styles, long preservation and still intact to this day: linen skirt and linen shoes, which are extremely precious.The cultural relics in the collection of Jingzhou Museum are sometimes exhibited in a "reincarnation" way, so you may not be able to see all the treasures in the collection at once. The museum provides the service of renting an Guide, the rental fee is 20 yuan/piece, and it is recommended to rent one when visiting.

    "If you drive by yourself, the visitor center has free parking spaces and charging piles. There are two kinds of charging piles, one is complicated and the other is relatively simple (I don't know if it will be improved in the future, this is the case for the time being). But if you only book to go to Binyang Building, consider carefully whether to park the car to the visitor center, because the ticket office (entrance) of Binyang Building is at the north gate (opposite Zhang Juzheng's former residence), and you have to walk from the visitor center to Binyang Building (there is also Zhang Juzheng's former residence nearby), After playing, you have to walk back to the visitor center to get a car. There are paid parking spaces on the white line next to Zhang Juzheng's former residence, not many (as shown in the first two pictures). You can also take the sightseeing battery car in the park, so you don't know the specific cost. According to personal circumstances, it is for reference only."

    "The Chuwang Chemazhen Scenic Area consists of the main temple, temple, funeral tomb area, sacrifice pit, Chemazhen site exhibition hall, etc. We came from the high-speed rail station for about an hour, and the Trip.com discount ticket took two hours to take effect. We had to refund it. There was no time limit for the elderly to leave the discount ticket. The scenic spot is not open except for the car and horse array, which is under development. When you come to Jingzhou, except for the ancient city, the car and horse array is worth coming to study, and it is very interesting to watch slowly."

    "Compared with the Guangong Temples in other areas, Jingzhou Guan Yuxuan is not very distinctive. Although it is very quiet, the introduction is small, the space is not large, and the tour time is short, giving people a feeling that they are still unfinished."

The local people hope to educate future generations to learn from the loyalty, righteousness, benevolence, and courage of Guan Yu.
