09:00
Buy your day pass at the Jianchuan Museum Cluster. The campus opens at 09:00, which is the quietest time to explore the four WWII buildings before the tour groups arrive. You can visit all four with the one-day pass.
10:30
Walk 14 minutes northeast to Anren Ancient Town. This scenic area is known for its density of museums and historic architecture. Stroll past the Liu Xiang riding statue at the western edge to get a feel for the town's layout.
11:30
Return to the museum cluster or stay in Anren for lunch. If you need food, check the route for local options as no specific shops are listed in the immediate vicinity.
Local tip
The museum campus is large. Focus on one or two buildings if you have limited time, or grab the full day pass to wander at your own pace.
