The Amazing and Shocking Sanxingdui

Sanxingdui Sanxingdui has been extremely popular recently, especially for students. It has always been my child's dream to visit. However, it's very hard to get a ticket. Let's talk about how to get a ticket first. Every day at 8 AM, you must start preparing at 7:55 AM. Fill in all the information correctly, refresh at 7:59 AM, and refresh again at 8 AM. If there are any remaining tickets, grab them quickly. As long as the order is generated, you are good to go. If it doesn't work out, there are afternoon sessions during the summer from 6 PM to 8 PM, which are easier to get and less crowded, but the time is really tight. Sanxingdui is very large, and two hours are really not enough. However, each has its advantages, so choose accordingly. We managed to get tickets for both the afternoon and night sessions. Because we were traveling with elderly and children, we chose the night session due to our schedule. If you are taking children, you can plan ahead. Our child is 12 years old, so he researched Sanxingdui in advance. Due to time constraints, we made some choices and saw all the important exhibits first, such as the Bronze Sacred Tree, the Giant Standing Figure, and the masks. Regarding whether to hire a guide, if you have a morning session, you can queue up early to book a guide, which would be very beneficial. If you have an afternoon or night session, you can rent an audio guide, which is also a good option. A special reminder: if you have a night session and want to buy Sanxingdui cultural and creative products, make sure to do it early, as the store closes promptly at 8 PM. Regarding parking at Sanxingdui, there's generally no need to worry. The parking lot is very large, but the surface is not paved. When leaving, you need to scan to pay the parking fee at the main gate, which can cause traffic jams. This is something the scenic area needs to optimize. Overall, the experience at Sanxingdui is very good. It's shocking and really impacts our understanding of current civilization. I strongly recommend learning about it in advance to enhance your visit.
