Museum Culture
So, where to begin with China? I’ve had just over two weeks here and my time has been jam packed with wonderful experiences.
I have taken hundreds of photos so I want to make a selection here and show you some of the goodies.
First things first. China is beautiful, the people are friendly and its not at all like I imagined it might be. If you ever get the chance to visit go for it you will not regret it.
I went on an outward bound trip when I was 18 years old, it was a formative experience for me and China feels the same. My world has doubled.
But don’t take my word for it, have a look. I have managed to visit a few of Hangzhou’s amazing museums on my trip and here are a few of my highlights.
Liangzhu Museum
Displaying remarkable examples of early jade cong and bi, excavated from a 5,000 year site.The collection is housed in a beautiful building, with courtyards and pools filled with carp.
China National Silk Museum, Zheigiang.
Near the beautiful West Lake, one of the first state-level museums in China, and the largest centre for textile collection, exhibition, conservation, research and education in the country.
Hangzhou Museum
On the south side of West Lake, beside He Fang old street, an amazing collection of pottery, painting, calligraphy.
