Yanbian Museum

125 reviews
Yanbian Museum is a comprehensive museum that integrates local history and ethnic characteristics. It operates under three names—Yanbian Museum, Yanbian Korean Folk Museum, and Yanbian Korean Revolutionary Memorial Hall—but is managed by a single administrative team. The museum has relocated three times, and the current new building was completed and opened in 2012. It is divided into functional areas for exhibitions, visitor interaction, and public services. The museum houses nearly 15,000 artifacts, including over 500 precious national-level artifacts, consisting of ancient, modern, and folk items. Among the ancient artifacts, the tombstone of Princess Zhenxiao of the Tang Dynasty Bohai Kingdom and the Tang Dynasty Bohai stone lions are particularly rare. The bronze seal of the "Ministry of Rites of the Shangshu" from the Dongxia Kingdom at the end of the Jin Dynasty, and the Neolithic Jingu-type jade ring, trace the history of civilization in the Yanbian region back even further. The folk artifacts here are highly distinctive; vintage items such as the 1890s Korean-style round copper dining table, copper fish locks, and silver spoons and chopsticks used for 60th birthday celebrations vividly depict the daily life, wedding customs, and festivals of the Korean ethnic group. Various items used by guerrillas quietly recount the history of revolutionary struggles in Yanbian. The renovated permanent exhibition is presented in the form of a general history, connecting the historical threads of Yanbian: from the historical footprints of ancient ancestors on the Yanbian land and the arduous journey of migration and development by various ethnic groups, to the memories of the revolutionary era, the colorful folk customs, and the footprints of the united struggle of the people of all ethnic groups in Yanbian.Yanji · 7km from downtown

Although it's an artificial photo spot, it's still quite interesting because I've never seen architecture like this before. The garden is actually very small; you can walk through it in no time if you don't take photos, so you don't need to stay too long.

The "Instagrammable bullet screen wall" at Yanbian University is located at No. 1 University Town, 1188 Gongyuan Road, Yanji City, opposite the main gate of Yanbian University. The wall houses 75 shops in an 8-story commercial building with over 70 bilingual (Chinese and Korean) neon signs hanging on its exterior. The building is 150 meters long and 33 meters high, and when illuminated at night, it creates a "bullet screen" visual effect.

If you have time to visit Yanji, you absolutely must go to Mao'er Mountain, and you should definitely visit it in the early morning, as the scenery is exceptionally beautiful then. If you're lucky, you might even see the morning mist, which will give you a unique and special experience.

Hailantai is so beautiful! There are plays during the day and performances at night, as well as pigeons and peacocks. There are also various foods and games inside. Go in the afternoon and you won't miss anything. It's just a bit cold, so wear more clothes!

We visited the Yanbian State Museum, which had few cultural relics. We borrowed an electronic induction guide to learn about Korean culture and history. For example, Koreans regard white as a symbol of purity, so marriage certificates are all white.

The overall environment is very good. Children like dinosaurs very much, but viewing the fossils is just a quick glance. The AI ​​project is well researched and the children like to play. It is participatory and interactive.

The first three floors are quite standard, with no special design. The immersive layout on the fourth floor is great, especially the library is amazing! There is no explanation included in the ticket, and there is only one service staff at the ticket gate. I feel that the service needs to be improved.
