Hunan Provincial Museum I have visited Hunan Provincial Museum many times. Although there are thousands of museums in China, I'd like to recommend this one to you. It is located in Kafu District of Changsha city and famous at abundant collections excavated from Mawangdui Tombs of Han Dynasty. Among those historical relics there are 2 national treasures should not be missed: one is Gauze Gown and the other one is a world-famous female corpse. The gown weights only 48 gram. I think it is the most thinnest dress in the world. We couldn't help to think that how can people make such light clothes under that limited technologies thousands years ago? It is a mystery. Because after this gown was found, people tried to copy a exact one. But however they did, all the copies were still a little bit heavier than the original. The female corpse was the wife of premier Changsha State 2100 years ago. Her name was XIN ZHUI. The docent told us the most magic thing was her skin still has elastic and moisture when she was found. Be honest, her face looked a little bit devilish although she was laying underneath approximately 15 meters away from visitors. But it is absolutely worth to go there. I have been to Louvre in Paris and the British Museum in London and have ever seen many coffins of mummies, but Manwangdui female corpse was the first real corpse I have ever seen. Today I got a news that due to the construction Hunan Provincial Museum will be closed for 3 years. Sad! Why such a long time! Actually, this 'news' was at the early 2012. So it has already passed half time! Hope to visit there again soon!
