Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Museum

The museum is too large, and our time and energy are limited. Even if we just take a quick look, we can't see everything. So we went straight to the 4th floor, where most of the museum's treasures are! The Inner Mongolia Museum is a national first-class museum. The main building covers an area of 64,000 square meters, with an exhibition area of 15,000 square meters. The museum's collection is quite rich, with more than 150,000 items, including 5,643 sets of precious cultural relics and 650 sets of national first-class cultural relics. To understand a city, you must start by visiting its museum. Friends who come to Hohhot must come and appreciate it! It is definitely worth seeing. Golden crown ornament with eagle top, the only Hu crown specimen found in China so far. Eastern Han Dynasty gemstone inlaid golden crown ornament, Northern Wei Dynasty eighth year of Taihe gilded bronze statue of Shakyamuni Buddha Tang Dynasty yellow-green glazed parrot-shaped pottery kettle with handle Liao Dynasty deer grass pattern gilded silver horse ornaments, including horse bridle ornaments, horse chest ornaments, horse rear ornaments, etc. Liao Dynasty painted wooden coffin and coffin seat, the Liao tomb painted coffin prototype in "Ghost Blows Out the Light" Princess's golden face cover Gemstone inlaid golden crown The ancient world occupies the first and second floors of the exhibition hall, displaying various dinosaur fossils, dinosaur egg fossils, fish fossils, mammoth fossils, etc. It is very shocking and suitable for bringing children for science education. Really can't finish visiting the big dinosaurs! This huge dinosaur fossil occupying the central position of the exhibition hall is also a treasure of the museum. It is called the Chagan Nur Dragon skeleton fossil, the largest dinosaur in Asia during the Cretaceous period, It is currently the largest dinosaur from the Cretaceous period in Asia that has been restored and mounted. Chagan Nur Dragon lived about 130 million years ago in the early Cretaceous period. It was about 26 meters long and could reach 12 meters when raising its head. It was discovered in 1985 in Chagan Nur, Sunite Right Banner, Xilin Gol League, Inner Mongolia (Chagan Nur means white lake in Mongolian). It belongs to a new species of the order Saurischia, suborder Sauropodomorpha, family Titanosauridae. The cultural and creative store is on the first floor. After visiting, you can stroll around. There are many exquisite notebooks and videos. The most important thing is that stamping is free. You can stamp on your own notebook as you like, which is really friendly. The cultural and creative products of the museum are rich in variety and very exquisite, but the prices are not cheap. I only bought a refrigerator magnet as a souvenir!
