Why it’s worth watching this

The content density of Nanjing Museum is very high, and it is not suitable to use the six museums evenly. For your first visit, you can take the History Hall as the main line, then choose the Special Exhibition Hall or the Art Hall according to your interests, and finally end with the Republic of China Hall.

What is truly worth stopping at is often not the most popular photo location, but the details in the exhibition that connect the artifacts to the times. For family visits, it is recommended to select two to three themes in advance to avoid a tiring chapter collection route.
