In a bid to attract young visitors, the museums in Zhengzhou
created fresh products, “bronze-themed coffee”, for instance, and
hosted interactive activities related to intangible cultural
heritages, including murder mystery games and hands-on artifact
restoration.
Zhengzhou, one of China’s eight ancient capitals, boasts a total
of 112 museums and is dubbed the “City of a Hundred Museums”. It
accommodates Henan Museum, Zhengzhou Museum, Yellow River Museum
and other comprehensive museums. Additionally, there are museums of
history and culture and themed museums, such as Henan Natural
History Museum.
Zhengzhou has been connecting historical heritages to the
public. For instance, the Zhengzhou Museum, with bronze culture as
one highlight, has introduced themed coffee and ice cream with
bronze-culture elements. The Zhengzhou Shang Dynasty Ruins Museum
offers an immersive and interactive theater experience titled
“Memories of the Shang Dynasty”, where visitors can travel through
different historical periods via interactive games. The Zhengzhou
Dingcang Coin Museum demonstrates ancient coin minting techniques,
allowing visitors to try crafting coins themselves.
As a major birthplace of Chinese civilization, Zhengzhou is home
to the Peiligang Culture dating back 8,000 years and the Dahecun
Culture spanning 6,000 years. Around 5,000 years ago, the legendary
Yellow Emperor was born and established his capital here. About
3,600 years ago, the Shang Dynasty also chose this area as their
capital. Today, remnants of ancient city walls, stretching seven
kilometers, can still be found in the center of Zhengzhou.
Currently, Zhengzhou has two UNESCO World Heritage sites, 83
nationally protected sites, 147 provincially protected sites, and
nearly 10,000 immovable cultural relics, providing a robust
foundation for its many museums and exhibitions.
The museums in Zhengzhou have not only enriched the cultural
life of the locals, but also appealed to visitors at home and
abroad. With innovative events and exhibitions of the city’s
historical and cultural heritage, Zhengzhou has presented a
vibrant, open, and inclusive urban culture to the world.
