"Looking at it, I couldn't help but recollect the experience of attending the flag raising ceremony at Tian'anmen Square when I was a little girl," Gu says, "I felt overwhelmingly touched."

She says she also enjoyed The Uniqueness of Zhou Dynasty Artifacts exhibition, showing a selection of objects excavated from the tombs in Chengcheng county, Shaanxi province.

"An archaeological site is recreated at the exhibition to show us the conditions under which the artifacts were unearthed," Gu says. "The scene reminded me of the tomb raiding-themed drama Candle in the Tomb: The Lost Caverns."

The national museum is currently hosting 17 exhibitions and people can also enjoy their diversity as a virtual experience, by visiting the museum's website and WeChat account.
