Timeline
16:24
Walk through the excavation and exhibition halls while the daylight is still bright. The site is large, so take your time to see the pottery, jade, and golden artifacts before the evening crowd arrives.
17:54
Step out into Jinsha Binhe Park. Walk along the riverbank facing west. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky will turn gold over the water, offering a peaceful view away from the museum crowds.
18:39
Head to Xianju Tea House for a drink. It is open late and offers a calm space to unwind after your walk. The tea house is a short walk from the park.
Local tip
The museum closes 60 minutes before closing time, so arrive early enough to see everything. Jinsha Binhe Park is just a 10-minute walk from the museum entrance.
