Booking a museum ticket this past summer was not easy. Visitors often found that tickets for the following week had been fully booked.
★ To many museum staff, such crowds had not been seen before. So, what was behind this "museum craze"?
Part of the reason is a growing interest in traditional Chinese culture, according to Guo Sike. He is in charge of the Confucius (孔子) Museum in Shandong province.
"Nowadays, young Chinese love traditional Chinese culture," said Guo. He added that modern technologies have also played a role. They allow people to experience and appreciate traditional culture in more ways.
The Shanxi History Museum in the city of Xi'an also saw an increase in visitors. The museum can only allow 12, 000 people to visit each day. Its ticket booking platform, however, received more than 600, 000 clicks a day. To solve the problem, the museum called off its Monday closures (闭馆). It was also open for more hours on Sundays.
Popular study tours (游学) also helped bring more people to museums. The Confucius Museum saw many of these tours. In order to meet their needs, it organized several different activities. For example, there were exhibitions to show people the Kong family's customs.
In Xi'an, the Qinqiang Opera was a popular subject of study tours. Local museums offered chances to learn the culture. For example, visitors could wear the performer's costumes and learn to sing the opera.
"People love the more hands-on travel experiences," said Yang Rong from the Shanxi Tourism Association.
"Museums are bridges. They connect the past, present and future," said Yang Chaoming a professor at Shandong University. "More and more people wish to. better learn about traditional Chinese culture through museum visits."
