Hangzhou Museum
杭州博物馆
A city history museum at the foot of Wu Mountain, telling the story of Hangzhou's transformation from Liangzhu to Southern Song Lin'an.
The Hangzhou Museum is located on Liangdao Hill at the northern foot of Wu Mountain. It has a history gallery and a general history gallery, displaying archaeological finds from Hupiao Bridge, Liangzhu, the Wuyue kingdom and the city of Southern Song Lin'an. Its treasure is a crystal cup from the Warring States period. Admission is free, and the museum is closed on Mondays. It is about a 10-minute walk from Hefang Street and City God Pavilion, so it fits well into the same half-day as Wu Mountain and the Southern Song Imperial Street.
Opening hours
