#Nanjing Museum Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
The ancient charm of Jinling, the city of Nanjing, beckons - the Nanjing Museum is a must-visit
I have always believed that Nanjing (formerly known as Jinling), the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, is a city with profound historical and cultural heritage. According to historical records, more than 3,000 years ago during the Shang Dynasty, fortifications began to be built in the area of Nanjing, which shows that Nanjing is an important birthplace of Chinese civilization.
The Nanjing Museum has collected cultural relics and artifacts from all periods throughout the long history of Nanjing, with each category bearing witness to a piece of history. The museum is second only to the Palace Museum in terms of the number of precious cultural relics, making it one of the two most significant museums in the country.
The Nanjing Museum consists of six exhibition halls. Among them, the history, special exhibition, and art halls are above ground, while the digital, Republic of China, and intangible cultural heritage halls are underground. This design is quite rare among museums. The special exhibition hall and the Republic of China hall are the two most popular halls in the Nanjing Museum, with the latter recreating the real-life scenes of the Republic of China period and being an extremely popular spot for photography. The special exhibition hall houses many national treasures, each one a national treasure in its own right.
Below are a few of the incredible artifacts in the Nanjing Museum's collection that are must-sees:
✅ Western Han Dynasty gold beast, a late Warring States period artifact, is the heaviest gold object discovered in archaeology to date, weighing about nine kilograms.
✅ Gold cicada and jade leaf, with the pure gold cicada above and mutton-fat white jade below, is the only such combination of gold and jade in the country.
✅ Silver-threaded jade garments, of which there are only three in the country, each piece of jade is unique.
✅ Gold seal of the King of Guangling, the only Han Dynasty seal of the Liu family among the nobility discovered in the country.
✅ Celadon-glazed mythical beast zun, a national treasure whose lively sculpting has led to it being listed as prohibited from international exhibition.
✅ Kunyu Wanguo Quantu, the earliest known world map found in China.
The above are just a small part of the national treasures at the Nanjing Museum. The museum's precious first-class cultural relics number in the thousands, ranging from the distant Stone Age to modern times, all of which are treasures of various dynasties and the museum has a complete range of categories. Due to time constraints, it was a pity that I could only have a cursory look at some of the exhibition halls.
The Nanjing Museum (one of the three major museums in China) 👍 highly recommended

Those quirky and cute cultural relics in Nanjing Museum
Nanjing Museum has 18 treasures, which are displayed in rotation every year, with a maximum of 4-5 pieces at a time. But this year is the 90th anniversary of Nanjing Museum, and 12 treasures were displayed at once. If you come to Nanjing, you must go to Nanjing Museum, it's really interesting.
The two-day and one-night weekend trip to Nanjing was so worth it!
Our hotel transportation is very convenient, close to the subway entrance Xuzhuang Software Park/Xianlin University City Business District·Nanjing
On the first day, we went to the Nanjing Museum. The Nanjing Museum is very large, and we didn't finish strolling around even after several hours. We can come again next time. People like me who love to buy cultural and creative products were immediately attracted haha
In the evening, we went to Nanjing 1912 Street. It's very suitable for taking pictures and there are many quiet bars.
On the second day, we went to Xuanwu Lake Scenic Area for photography. The scenery is good and it's really big. I only strolled a little bit because our main purpose was to take pictures.
In the afternoon, we went to Jiangning Weaving Museum. My god, it's simply my trap➕1. There are many cultural and creative products, and the overall layout of the museum is very artistic. It has a kind of Jiangnan water town style. I particularly like the Red Mansion in it. The Cheongsam Museum has a few exhibits.
In the evening, we were at the Confucius Temple. The scenery in the Confucius Temple and Qinhuai Scenic Belt is very beautiful. The things in the Confucius Temple... I won't buy.
We ate at Yonghe Garden Restaurant, I recommend salted duck.
Nanjing Museum, the essence of Nanjing
For the first time, I embarked on a special forces operation without any strategy, simply going with the flow and seeing things as they come. I arrived in Nanjing on Friday evening, had a beef hotpot for my first meal, and stayed at the Orange Hotel near the Confucius Temple.
The next morning, I checked in at the Nanjing Museum, immersing myself in the history and culture of Nanjing, and saw real dinosaurs🦕🦴, imagining the scenes from the Jurassic period. I wandered and observed until the afternoon before finally leaving. I was extremely excited upon entering, but by the time I left, I felt dizzy from the overload of information; my brain's CPU was overheating. Overall, if you go to Nanjing, you should visit the museum, and it's even better to take kids with you.
Lunch was supposed to be at a popular restaurant right outside the museum, but the queue was too long, so I went back to the hotel. The beef hotpot near the hotel was really delicious.
I switched to the Huazhu Manxin Hotel near the Confucius Temple, and after some rest to regain my strength, I continued to stroll around since the hotel was located right in the scenic old street.
In the evening, I visited the Confucius Temple, which was bustling with people and had a strong commercial vibe. I took in the overall atmosphere, the view from the bridge was nice, and since I was there, I didn't take a boat to see the night view. Back at the hotel, I refueled with durian and duck neck.
Later at night, around 9 pm, I went out for another stroll. The old street wasn't crowded, the lanterns were beautiful, and it felt great. After midnight, I enjoyed some delicious skewers.
The third day, I woke up naturally and returned to the city!
It was my first impromptu trip, and after several days, I don't remember the hotels and restaurants very well, making this a travelogue without much reference value.
In conclusion, if you're traveling light and decide to just go, then just go. Don't worry about how many attractions you've checked off after spending money on plane tickets. What's important is being with your loved ones, wandering around. I felt the truth in the blessing: I hope you feel every day like the night before a trip.
Don't miss the special clock exhibition on the fourth floor of Nanbo
Nanjing Museum's fourth floor clock hall is a place specifically for displaying its precious clocks collection. These clocks come from different historical periods and regions, including valuable clocks made in countries such as England and Germany, as well as clocks used by the Qing Dynasty royal family. The fifty-plus exquisite clocks collected in this exhibition hall not only have extremely high artistic value, but also represent the peak level of mechanical manufacturing technology and decorative art at that time.
Nanjing Museum
What an amazing experience. This museum is extremely diverse. It has exhibits ranging from art and ancient historical artifacts to having a tea house with live performances and recreating a typical street from the 50s lined with actual shops. Those ranged from gift shops, calligraphy artist, candy makers and cafes. It almost felt like a theme park. I spent nearly 4 hours there. There's so much to see so make sure you plan accordingly.

Nanjing Museum
The exquisite jade artifacts have been passed down along with Chinese civilization, and the special exhibition is dazzling and overwhelming. There are so many exhibits that I couldn't take pictures in the end. Renting a headset can soak up the whole day. Only when the country develops can today's environment be created, and protecting the treasures left by our ancestors can keep Chinese civilization alive!

Nanjing Museum... Nanjing Museum really has a profound history... It took me two hours to just walk around the special exhibition hall... The 2F Jade World is beyond description... You have to see it for yourself... If I have to describe it with one word, it would be 'worth it'... I'm too tired to visit the Republic of China Pavilion and the Art Pavilion, I'll have to come back another time...
