Changsha Bamboo Slips Museum — Attraction in Yuhua District

Passport required if you're a foreigner, make sure to bring. Free entry.

Small museum. Many of the bamboo slips are replicas, not original. And the original ones, are in a glass casing, that reflects the lighting. So almost impossible to see and read!

No English audioguide. There is limited English signage. 4G signal is strong, so if you have a roaming sim you can use Google Translate via images.

Worth up to an hour here, no more.

Visited on a normal Saturday in May. No queue at all to get in. Relatively...

It is a nice place to visit if you are a museum fan and live historical stuff - this museum is located in Changsha, where the bamboo slips are actually excavated.

It is very informative as to how the bamboo slips are prepared as my first question is that how can bamboo last so long....well they showed the process how it was historically processed and prepared before the government officials used them.

Even for non museum or historical fans, it is a nice place to chillax from the sweltering heat of Changsha...

It's a fast walk in and walk out if you don't know Chinese because the English translation isn't good hahaha.

But otherwise it covers the history of manuscripts, in particular...
