Guizhou Provincial Museum

Scenic Area Introduction

Amidst the modern architectural complex in Guiyang's Guanshanhu District, the new Guizhou Provincial Museum stands out with its distinctive diamond-shaped silhouette and vibrant facade. This cultural landmark resembles an ark laden with Guizhou's historical and ethnic treasures, awaiting your exploration.

The museum's core features three permanent exhibition halls: “Ethnic Guizhou,” “Historical Guizhou,” and “Kingdom of Paleontology.” In the “Kingdom of Paleontology,” encounter the iconic fossil of Guizhoulong huushiensis—a Triassic marine creature first discovered and named by Chinese scholars, revealing Guizhou's astonishing ancient marine past. Step into “Historical Guizhou,” where the Han Dynasty bronze chariot and horses—the museum's crown jewel—display two millennia of elegant craftsmanship. Mysterious Yelang culture unfolds through artifacts like the unique “hooded burial” bronze cauldron, whispering ancient legends of this land. The “Ethnic Guizhou” hall offers a dazzling visual feast, featuring a Song Dynasty colored wax-dyed pleated skirt with heron patterns hailed as the “ancestor of wax-printing.” Its exquisite designs bear witness to the region's enduring textile heritage. Additionally, the museum hosts high-quality special exhibitions like the “Letters from Revolutionary Pioneers,” allowing visitors to feel the warmth of history through moving correspondence.
