Who says airports are just for rushing to gates and sipping overpriced coffee? Xi’an Xianyang International Airport just leveled up the travel game with the world’s first in-house archaeological museum! 🎉 Now, you can wander through millennia of history while waiting for your flight—talk about a cultural layover!
From Construction Zone to Time Machine
During a major expansion project (2020–2022), workers struck historical gold: 6,848 ancient relics, including tombs, pottery kilns, and even ancient roads. Over 22,000 artifacts—think Tang Dynasty treasures and Han-era pottery—were unearthed, proving Xi’an (a Silk Road gem 🌏) isn’t called China’s 'eternal city' for nothing!
Why This Rocks for Travelers
Forget duty-free shopping sprees. This museum lets you literally walk through layers of history. Imagine snapping selfies with 2,000-year-old artifacts between security checks. ✨ It’s like a National Geographic episode come to life—no subscription required.
One airport official joked, 'We’re redefining *fast travel*—from ancient trade routes to modern runways.' 🛫
