Cultural Highlights
Shenzhen Wangye Museum opened in 2012 and specializes in ancient Chinese artifacts. Over 10,000 relics are displayed, including 55 national first-class treasures—the most in Shenzhen! Highlights include rare bronzeware, ceramics, and unique items like a 2,000-year-old jade seal. The museum’s name, written by renowned historian Professor Su Bai from Peking University, adds authenticity. Unlike state-run museums, Shenzhen Wangye Museum is privately run, showcasing passion for heritage.
Exhibition Experience
The space is compact but well-organized. Exhibits are grouped by theme (e.g., Dynasty Era, Silk Road Trade), with English captions. Interactive screens let visitors explore 3D models of artifacts. Guided tours (in Chinese) run daily, but audio guides are available for self-explorers. Families love the kids’ corner, where children can touch replica artifacts.
