Guangzhou Maritime Museum

#Guangzhou Attractions Guangzhou Maritime Museum, located in Huangpu District, Guangzhou, covers an area of ​​35,700 square meters and has a construction area of ​​10,000 square meters. The main building consists of four floors above ground and one floor underground. The four floors above ground are for display purposes. The design of the museum cleverly uses the characteristics of the water area. The main building is like a large ship floating in the middle of the water, and there is a 6-meter-wide "approach bridge" at the entrance. Entering the museum through here is like "boarding a ship and going out to sea." The museum design also extracts abstract elements such as the lines and blocks of the Guangchuan, one of the three major ship types in ancient China, and integrates them into the overall shape of the building. The most distinctive feature of the museum's collection is the large number of exquisite porcelains unearthed from unearthed waters, especially the Xicun kiln porcelains, most of which were unearthed in Southeast Asian countries, and few complete pieces have been unearthed in China. Others such as the epitaph of Fang Shenyan, the Maritime Customs Envoy of the Song Dynasty, anchor stones of the Southern Song Dynasty, and incense and medicines unearthed from unearthed waters in the South China Sea are also extremely precious. The museum houses about 100 pieces of Xicun Kiln porcelain, making it the museum in China with the largest collection of complete Xicun Kiln artifacts. It is worth a visit, as it is considered a niche museum.
