Move over, Netflix binges—China’s Spring Festival travelers are swiping right on history. The Henan Museum, buzzing with over 100,000 visitors during the holiday, proves ancient artifacts are the ultimate flex for culture-loving Gen-Z explorers.
Home to 170,000+ relics—5,000 of which are top-tier national treasures—the museum is basically a time machine to China’s golden eras. One star of the show? The legendary ‘Fu Hao’ owl-shaped bronze zun, a 3,000-year-old ritual vessel that’s equal parts art and mystery.
‘This isn’t just old stuff—it’s our DNA,’ said one 21-year-old visitor snapping selfies with Tang Dynasty ceramics. With Spring Festival tourism still hot, the museum’s blend of ancient swagger and Instagrammable exhibits is rewriting #TravelGoals.
