Are aliens for real? Come and see for yourself

Just outside Chengdu, I stepped into a world so surreal it felt like ancient aliens had dropped by. Welcome to Sanxingdui Museum — a mind-blowing treasure trove of Bronze Age mystery, gold masks, giant-eyed statues, and stories that rewrite Chinese history. This isn’t your typical museum. The relics are weird (in the best way). Think: bronze trees, mythical creatures, masks with exaggerated eyes and ears. Scientists still don’t know exactly who these people were — and that’s what makes it magical. 🌟 What You’ll See: • The iconic Gold Mask (yes, that viral one!) • Giant bronze human figures taller than me • Strange totems that look like something out of Marvel • Stunning jade & ivory artifacts, over 3,000 years old 📍Need-to-Know: • Location: Guanghan, ~1 hr from Chengdu • Entry: ~¥72 (book online to skip the queue) • Best time: Weekday mornings to avoid tour groups • 2 museum halls: Old vs New — don’t miss the new building, it’s next-level immersive • English signs are available! 📝 Tips: • Wear comfy shoes — it’s a big site • Bring a power bank (you’ll take lots of photos) • Pair it with a trip to the Jinsha Site Museum for the full story ✨ I came for the artifacts, stayed for the mystery. Sanxingdui isn’t just a museum — it’s an unsolved ancient riddle waiting for you to walk through it. #travel#chengdu #sanxingdui #sanxingduialiens
