Tongliang Museum

This Tongliang Museum was built to display artifacts unearthed locally, principally when they created a new reservoir in 1976. They rescued Tongliang's very own terracotta soldiers! Found in a Ming dynasty tomb of a local person of some eminence. Nothing so grand or impressive as those in the emperors tomb in Xi an as these are only 9" high, but nevertheless a good example of burial practises in feudal times. The museum advertises the "world famous Tongliang dragon lantern" but that display was not ready for the public yet!
