Silk Route Museum

The Silk Route Museum is a museum in Jiuquan that focuses on the history of ancient trade routes and presents a large collection of artifacts. The exhibition spaces hold objects from different periods that show the trade goods and everyday items used by people along these historical routes.

The museum was established in 2009 on an archaeological site with significant findings from several centuries. The location revealed underground structures and chambers that provide insights into life during earlier periods.

The exhibition displays ceramics, jade pieces, and bronze items that reflect the exchanges between eastern and western cultures. These objects tell stories of trade relationships that connected people from different regions.

Visitors should prepare for a stay of several hours to explore the different exhibition areas properly. Good footwear is helpful since the facility is large and walking for extended periods is required.

The museum also operates an active jade market with regular auctions and special events. The venue attracts both collectors and interested parties who want to buy and sell rare gemstones.
