The ceiling of ancient Shu civilization! Sanxingdui Travel Guide, Miss it and wait for a thousand years

Sanxingdui, a mysterious site that has been dormant for three thousand years, shocked the world with its "black technology" cultural relics such as bronze masks and golden scepters. It only takes an hour’s drive from Chengdu to enter this “Oriental Pyramid” and experience the wisdom and faith of the ancient Shu people. Whether you are a history lover or a fan of the TV series "Ghost Blows Out the Light", this place can satisfy your imagination of mysterious civilization. 🚌 Transport & Fares: A Time-Saving and Effort-Saving Guide 🎫Tickets: 72 yuan for adults, half price for students (36 yuan), free for seniors over 60 years old (Chinese mainland ID card required) 🚄Transportation: From Chengdu: Recommended bus (IFS Panda Butt starts at 7:00, 50 yuan round trip including explanation), or high-speed rail to Guanghan North Station (18 minutes, 18 yuan) + taxi 15 minutes (20 yuan) 🚗Self-driving: Navigate to "Sanxingdui Museum", parking fee is 10 yuan/day, it is recommended to arrive early on holidays ⌚️Entrance time: Opens at 8:30. It is recommended to enter the museum as the first batch at 8:30 to avoid the crowds, or take empty shots 1 hour before closing time 🔍 Museum's treasures & must-see spots 1️⃣ Bronze Sacred Tree (Second floor of the exhibition hall) It is 3.96 meters high, symbolizing "faith in heaven". The details of the mythical bird and dragon pattern on the treetop are stunning, representing the pinnacle of bronze craftsmanship in the Shang Dynasty. 📷Photo spots: Take photos of the tree shadows against the light by the second-floor window, or take photos with the bronze standing man. 2️⃣Bronze Standing Man (first floor of the exhibition hall) It is 2.62 meters tall and holds a mysterious magic weapon in its hand. It may be an ancient Shu priest or a symbol of royal power. The patterns on its clothes are so complicated that it looks like a "walking QR code". 3️⃣Golden Mask (Golden Mask Museum) It weighs 280 grams and was "born" only 300 years later than the Sanxingdui Museum. The thin and long eyeliner comes with an "alien" filter. 4️⃣ Restoration Hall (-1F) It is open to the public free of charge and you can watch the restoration process of cultural relics. The experience is better with fewer people. 📸 Photography skills: tips for taking photos that look like a blockbuster Avoid crowds: Go before 9 a.m. on weekdays or 1 hour before closing time when there are fewer people and the lighting is better. Equipment tips: Use a polarizing filter to eliminate glass reflections, and shoot the bronze objects from a low angle to highlight their majesty. Creative composition: Look into the eyes of a bronze mask to capture a killer look, or stand next to a restored cultural relic to capture a sense of time travel. 🍜Nearby delicacies: Guanghan on the tip of your tongue Inside the museum: Guanghan Silk-wrapped Rabbit from Baojingzhai (smoked rabbit meat is firm and flavorful). Guanghan City: Dumb Rabbit (privately kept by locals, the rabbit meat is soft, tender and spicy), Lianshan Twice-Cooked Pork (palm-sized slices of meat that are fatty but not greasy), and Golden Silk Noodles (thin as hair and served with fresh soup). 📌 Notes There is no restaurant in the museum, so it is recommended that you bring your own dry food or eat in the park during off-peak hours. It is forbidden to touch the exhibits. It is more convenient to rent an interpreter (30 yuan) or join a group to listen to the explanation (40 yuan/10 people). The charm of Sanxingdui goes far beyond its “Internet celebrity” cultural relics. It is like an unfinished history book, waiting for everyone to write their own chapter of interpretation with their footsteps, cameras and curiosity. Next time you come to Guanghan, why not give yourself a fantasy journey across three thousand years!
