I was pleasantly surprised and amazed by the wisdom of the ancients and the splendor of Chu culture. I rented a guide and spent the entire day exploring the museum. The explanations were very detailed and clear, and it's definitely worth a visit. 👍🏻 One downside is that there are only a dozen or so parking spaces at the museum, and by the time I arrived after 9:00, there were already no spots left. There's also very little parking nearby. Second, you have to pay for the tour guide, and the guide guide itself. 😱 This is the first museum I've visited where the tours are paid. I've been to at least six or seven museums in China, including the Provincial Museum. The other tours are free, and the Yichang Museum's app also offers free tours. Only the Jingzhou Museum doesn't offer anything free, and it doesn't even have a brochure. 🙄 Third, the facilities are very basic. I heard it was built in the 1950s and 1960s and later renovated, so the facilities are quite basic. There's even no elevator at the entrance. Fourth, there's no restaurant at the museum, and there's not much to eat nearby. I was hungry from morning to lunch. 😭 Also, I hope the museum has a bookstore. The Yichang Museum next door has books. The facilities and service should really emulate the Yichang Museum.

Although a reconstruction, it's still highly recommended and worth a visit! A superb place to immerse yourself in the history of Hubei and the elegance of its famous officials. The Ming and Qing dynasty-style gardens are refined and tranquil, with five courtyards arranged in a harmonious and picturesque manner. Vermilion doors, bluestone paths, and lush greenery complement each other, while the gently flowing water of the Divine Turtle Pond perfectly captures the charm of a Jiangnan garden. The solemn and dignified plaque inscribed with "A Loyal Minister and Minister of State" in the Chunzhong Hall, the Pengri Tower detailing Zhang Juzheng's legendary life from child prodigy to Grand Secretary, and the vivid and engaging exhibition "Illustrated Explanation of Imperial Admonitions"—all these elements combine to create a profound understanding of the historical significance of the Wanli Emperor's reforms.

This time, we took advantage of the fall break to bring the kids to play. There weren't many people, which saved us from long queues. The kids were very happy and tried everything we didn't get to do last time. It was a great experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to play with their children!

The Chu King's Chariot and Horse Array is the largest and best-preserved high-ranking noble mausoleum of the Chu Kingdom in China, and is hailed as "the Terracotta Army in the north, the Chu King's Chariot and Horse Array in the south." The two exhibition halls within the scenic area are not far apart; a short walk along the wooden boardwalk between the two mausoleums takes only about ten minutes. The Chu King's Chariot and Horse Array scenic area is well worth a visit, especially for tourists interested in history, culture, and archaeological exploration. As the largest and best-preserved high-ranking noble mausoleum of the Chu Kingdom in China, its historical value rivals that of the Terracotta Army of Qin Shi Huang.
