The largest comprehensive museum in Jiangbei—a cultural landmark that offers insight into Tangyi’s 3,000-year history.
Three Major Permanent Exhibition Halls
First Floor | A Thousand Years of Tangyi, the Six Heavens Under Heaven
The Six Heavens, historically known as Tangyi, was Nanjing’s earliest recorded administrative division. It is often said that “Tangyi came first, followed by Jinling.”
Highlights:
The Museum’s Crown Jewel — The “Zhi Yi” Sword of the King of Yue from the Warring States Period
This sword was carried by the great-great-grandson of King Goujian of Yue and is the only sword belonging to a King of Yue ever unearthed in Nanjing. The blade features a gold-inlaid inscription in bird-and-insect seal script reading, “King of Yue Zhi Yi’s personal sword,” dating back over 2,400 years.
A sand table model of the ancient city of Tangyi, Shang and Zhou dynasty chime bells, and a Southern Dynasties celadon lotus-shaped vessel—over 440 cultural relics trace a complete historical timeline from ancient times to the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Second Floor | A World of Traditions, Arts of Liuhe · Intangible Cultural Heritage Old Street
A 1:1 replica of the Qing Dynasty Liuhe County Government Street, featuring an immersive, retro-style alleyway.
