Jianchuan Museum Cluster
建川博物馆聚落
A privately run museum complex in Anren Town, Dayi County, known for its series of venues on the War of Resistance, the Red Era and folk customs. It ranks first in scale among private museums in China.
The Jianchuan Museum Cluster was founded by collector Fan Jianchuan and opened in 2005 in Anren Town, Dayi County, about 50 km from downtown Chengdu. The cluster is made up of more than 20 independent museums covering the War of Resistance, the Red Era, folk culture and the Sichuan earthquake. Highlights include the Sichuan Army War of Resistance Museum, the Frontal Battlefield Museum, the Chinese Warriors Sculpture Plaza and the War of Resistance Veterans' Handprint Plaza, and its collection runs to millions of artifacts. Seeing everything takes a full day, so picking four to six museums is usually enough. Combined tickets cost several dozen yuan, and some museums are free (check on site). It can be combined with Anren Ancient Town and Liu Family Manor for a day trip. Drive, or take an intercity or long-distance bus from Chengdu.
