Witness the trajectory of Chinese civilization and experience the colorful culture of Henan
🌈 Visiting the Henan Museum is a must when touring Zhengzhou. Not coming here means you miss half of what Henan has to offer. Located at the heart of the region with convenient transportation, the Henan Museum covers an area of over 100,000 square meters, with a building area of 78,000 square meters. Following the museum's sequence, you can deeply feel the changes of Chinese civilization over the past five thousand years.
🌟 Nine Treasures of the Museum: You must learn about these, including the Lotus and Crane Square Pot, Jiahu Bone Flute, Ru Kiln Sky-Blue Glazed Carved Goose-Neck Vase, Jade-Handled Iron Sword, Empress Wu Zetian's Gold Exoneration Slip, Lady Hao's Owl-Shaped Wine Vessel, Duling Square Cauldron, Cloud Patterned Bronze Ban Liang Coin, and the Four Spirits and Clouds Chart.
The museum houses many precious cultural relics and art collections, including painted pottery, bronzes, porcelain, calligraphy, paintings, and valuable documents.
The main exhibits in the museum showcase the historical culture and natural heritage of the Henan region, such as Bronze Age artifacts from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, terracotta figures from the Qin and Han periods, jade articles from the Tang dynasty, ceramics from the Song dynasty, and porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties. In addition, there are special exhibitions of world cultural heritage items and relics of famous people from Henan.
🌕 The museum displays the unique cultural charm of the Henan region and is an important place to understand the Central Plains culture, ancient history, and art.
🌼 The cultural and creative shop in the museum also has a complete range of items, including the key souvenir cultural and creative ice cream. The cultural and creative ice cream was what I wanted to get the museum passport stamp for when I visited, but they said it was taken for repair, and there were no other stamps available, which was a pity.
The museum has a total of 4 floors and 14 exhibition halls. Here you can rent audio guides for 30 yuan, and there are also fee-based research explanations and small group tour guides.

There is no ticket to the museum, it can be solved here, and the explanation is also good. Henan is worthy of being the birthplace of Chinese civilization. It is really good and understands a lot of things. Otherwise, visiting this kind of museum is a half-knowing.
The land of Central Plains, the heavy Henan, the project that must be punched in Zhengzhou, as a sincere recommendation of locals, must come, only if you are immersed in the situation, you can feel the shock, only follow the explanation teacher, you can experience the deep meaning behind the cultural relics
At 2 pm, I arrived at the Henan Museum. When I checked the ticket, I was told that the products that Ctrip made an appointment to enter the museum on the same day were invalid, and the ID card was not valid. At that time, I was in a hurry and complained to the office. The staff explained that it was necessary to make an appointment to enter the museum the next day. This product was not agreed by the Henan Museum. Although the side passage was later opened, it affected the overall feeling of the visit. I am an audience should not be so troubled, I hope the platform and the museum communicate well in advance, and similar things do not want to happen again. In addition, the visit process is quite pleasant! Zhengzhou is indeed a treasured place in Central Plains!
We love to visit museums every time we travel to a city, and understanding the museums can better experience the cultural heritage of the city, but for us, the museum is still a mysterious and strange place. How to better understand the exhibits and understand the history and culture? How to quickly grasp the geographical environment and humanistic background of a place in a short period of time? These problems can be solved by using museum explainers. The interpreter is very cost-effective, so that every visitor can clearly hear the audio content, so that visitors can better understand the history, culture and other information behind the cultural relics.
The tour routes were arranged very reasonably, we didn’t waste any money and more importantly we visited all the attractions we wanted to see. The local guides were very professional and gave us a better understanding of the local history and culture. This trip made me harvest a lot, let me feel more beautiful and meaningful travel.
During the Chinese New Year, there were a lot of people. I rushed to see the last bus. Although there were fewer people at four o'clock, there were a lot fewer people. I could see the cultural relics. The narrator lady was official and gentle and lovely! The sound is also very good, the land is big and the museum hopes to come again.
Very good, worth a visit, the number of cultural relics is not too much, but they are all boutiques
