Wuyuan County of Shangrao City in east China's Jiangxi Province is not only home to picturesque countryside and well-preserved traditional villages, but also a rich cultural heritage preserved in its museum.

While visiting Wuyuan, visitors are recommended to take a stroll through the Wuyuan Museum, where five pieces of Jingdezhen Qingbai (bluish white) porcelain from the Song Dynasty (960-1279) are preserved. Visitors can appreciate the refined elegance of the Song Dynasty art and experience the timeless romance and power of these national treasures.

These treasured collections not only attract domestic cultural heritage enthusiasts, but also serve as a gateway for international visitors to explore traditional Chinese culture.

"This place is distinctive. It allows me to truly engage with traditional Chinese culture," said Wanu, a visitor from Sudan.

"I have loved Chinese culture since I was a child. The color and decorations of Song porcelain are breathtaking. It feels amazing to see these cultural relics in person," said Sun Gellan, a visitor from the United States.

Spanning a thousand years, the Qingbai porcelain builds a bridge for cultural exchanges between China and the world with its silent beauty.

After admiring the Song porcelain, visitors may head to Wuyuan's Magic Tiankeng Library.

This internet-famous landmark integrates Chinese and Western architectural aesthetics. Featuring carved spiral staircases and natural tiankeng rock walls, it creates a magical atmosphere reminiscent of Hogwarts. Its VR light-and-shadow theater connects the past and present, making it an ideal cultural tourism retreat.

Sun Gellan marveled that the library blends seamlessly with nature. Its dreamlike scenes resemble a real-life magical library, a must-visit spot during a trip to Wuyuan. (Edited by Li Xueqing with Xinhua Silk Road, lixueqing@xinhua.org)
