National
Stone Museum – A Collection of Fascinating Stones in Wuhan

Wuhan
Featured Hotels
Deeply rooted to its rich
history, those who visit Wuhan are encountered by an overwhelming number
of enthralling architecture evident during the colonial period. Reputed
for its museums, it has perhaps one of China's finest museums that recount
stories of local history encapsulating its rich art and culture. Located
in the serene setting of China's celebrated river famous around the globe,
the Yangtze, river cruises can be easily arranged for visitors who wish
to engage in a leisure cruise along the river.
 One
journey that is deemed to be one of the most fascinating experiences Wuhan
has to offer is a visit to its National Stone Museum. A place worthy of
visiting, it exhibits an array of distinct stone and crystal. There is
a record of 1300 pieces that are displayed to the public with many adorned
in paintings or decorated in carvings. In addition, there are many rare
and unique stones which appear to capture an unusual shape, sculpted by
natural forces of water and wind.
Situated in Cuiwei Lu in
the district of Hanyang, the National Stone Museum has been established
as a tourist attraction since 1993. Appealing to those both locals and
tourists alike, it attracts a large number of people regularly. A haven
for many who appreciate the beauty of rocks and stones, the museum beautifully
captures the enchanting and mystifying nature of stones in its unique creation.
 All
of the stones portrayed in the museum have been discovered within the country
itself. However, there has been one instance where one such unique stone
has originated from another country, Malaysia. Considered to be the most
famous types of stones, the Yuha, Yingde, Lingbi and Taihu are displayed
to the masses where travelers are able to have close encounter with the
large collection of such stones. The highlight of the museum belongs to
the third largest crystal in China, the most priceless piece in the museum.
The stones are categorized into varied groups by different characteristics
such as ancient animal fossil, figure, mineral component and vein.
These collections of stones
have been gathered from many parts of the country, ensuring that the museum
has a complete wealth of such precious stones. Wholly dedicated to the
field of stones, exquisitely rare rocks such as Peony stone and Chrysanthemum
stones will grasp the curiosity of its beholders, defying the limits of
our imagination. It is said that almost all types of rock that exist in
our world could be found in the museum, from the fancy rocks to the more
valuables ones.
Those on the lookout for
a Wuhan apartment accommodation, one such place that offers the comfort
of a modern and stylish setting is Citadines Zhuankou Wuhan. Staying in
a Wuhan serviced apartment such as this allows you to explore the city
of Wuhan easily as it is located conveniently near an extensive variety
of activities such as dining and shopping.
