Shanxi Museum is one of the first batch of national first-level museums and a national-level museum cultivation target established by central and local governments. It is the largest cultural relic collection, collection, protection, research and exhibition center in Shanxi.

Shanxi Museum was formerly known as Shanxi Educational Library Museum founded in the eighth year of the Republic of China (1919). In 1953, it was renamed Shanxi Provincial Museum.

The new museum was completed in 2004 and named Shanxi Museum. It was opened to the public in 2005.

In July 2019, Shanxi Bronze Museum, a branch of Shanxi Museum, officially opened. That museum will be written in the next record.

There are exhibition halls on the 4 floors of the museum, but when I went there, many exhibition rooms were under renovation. I didn’t see the Jin Kingdom Hegemony exhibition that I wanted to see the most, but I saw all the treasures I wanted to see, so I achieved my goal.

Shanxi food recommendation: Shanxi’s oily pork is also very famous. This meat tastes crispy and very delicious. Local people often eat this, which also shows that oily meat is very delicious. If you travel to Shanxi, you can still try it.

I've tasted this oily meat.

Hunyuan jelly comes from Hunyuan County, Shanxi Province and has a long history.

It is said that each family of the Hunyuan people has a secret recipe for making jelly soup, each with its own characteristics.

The prepared Hunyuan jelly is clear, white, smooth, and melts in your mouth. It is a snack suitable for all ages.

The more famous ones are Pingyao Wantu and Liulin Wantu, which can also be called bowl holders because they are steamed in a thin layer in a small bowl and can be removed from the bowl after being steamed and allowed to cool.

In some places, it is also called Wan Tuan, which symbolizes reunion.

Dipped in chili oil, vinegar and other condiments, it is suitable for all ages and is very refreshing.
