Badong Museum

The Badong Museum is located along the Yangtze River in the town of Badong. It houses a rich collection of artifacts, with eight national-level first-class cultural relics standing out as its most remarkable pieces. The museum’s collection is considered one of the finest in the Three Gorges reservoir area, showcasing the region’s deep cultural heritage.

What sets the Badong Museum apart is its immersive design. Within the museum grounds, 11 traditional ancient buildings of the Tujia ethnic group have been meticulously recreated. This reconstruction allows visitors not only to view exhibits but also to engage in an experiential journey through history, offering a unique glimpse into the past.

As you explore the museum, it feels as if you’re stepping back in time. You’ll walk through the living spaces of the ancient people of the Three Gorges, immersing yourself in their daily life and hearing the vibrant story of regional civilization. On the second day of your Yangzi Explorer 4-night cruise from Yichang to Chongqing via Badong, you’ll have the opportunity to visit this fascinating museum.
