Ya'an Museum
雅安市博物馆
A municipal museum in Yucheng District with bronzes from the Yandao ancient city in Yingjing, Han stone carvings and Tea-Horse Trail relics, and a good starting point for learning Ya'an's history.
Ya'an Museum is in Yucheng District. Its permanent exhibitions focus on Ya'an's history: Ba-Shu bronze weapons unearthed from a Warring States tomb at Tongxin Village in Yingjing; Han-dynasty Gao Yi Que and stone-carving culture; the border tea trade of the Southern Silk Road and Tea-Horse Trail; and the history of the giant panda's discovery. Entry is free, though it is usually closed on Mondays, and ID is required to enter. A visit takes about 1–1.5 hours. A taxi from Yazhou Covered Bridge takes about 10 minutes.
