[Explanation] On May 3, the "May 1st" small holiday entered the third day, and the Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, Sichuan remained hot.
Early in the morning, there is a long queue at the entrance of the museum, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians in the park. The complex and bronze museums are crowded with people. Tourists from all over the world follow the pace of the guide and move in an orderly manner, passing through the cultural relics and ancient Shu people. Time and space dialogue.
Ren Ren, director of the Industrial Development Department of the Sanxingdui Museum Scenic Area Management Committee, introduced that since the announcement of the new round of archaeological excavations at the Sanxingdui site in March this year, the number of tourists visiting has been increasing.
After receiving more than 45,000 tourists in the three days of the Qingming holiday, the museum once again ushered in a peak of passenger flow this holiday.
Two days before the May Day holiday, the Sanxingdui Museum received a total of 34,574 visitors, an increase of approximately 284.4% over the same period in 2019.

Judging from our visits to the park in the first two days of May Day, it should be said that they are close to reaching our saturation level.
Because this time, we have opened a way to make reservations on the Internet in advance by time-sharing, which has diverted tourists.
[Explanation] While a large number of tourists came to check in, they also "brought on fire" the cultural and creative products of Sanxingdui Museum.
Among them, the "bronze mask" ice cream and the masks printed with bronze motifs have "out of the circle" one after another, which is full of enthusiasm.
Ren Ren told reporters that cultural and creative products are an important carrier for cultural relics to "live". There are currently more than 300 cultural and creative products in the museum.

In order to better "live" the cultural relics, the Sanxingdui Museum has also been vigorously developing our cultural and creative products in recent years. We hope that through the development and sales of cultural and creative products, we can represent the ancient Shu culture and ancient Shu civilization. Sanxingdui culture can be understood and accepted by more people, and further love is also a manifestation of the charm of our Chinese culture.

Then, although I didn’t go out on the May 1st trip, I went to the museum for a while, I felt that I had enriched my spiritual world, and then I learned a lot of knowledge, and I also gained a lot of knowledge. It makes more sense.
[Commentary] Li Zhao, director of the Department of Cultural Industry Management of the School of Literature and Art of Xihua University and a doctor of history, said that the good epidemic prevention and control situation has prompted more Chinese people to leave their homes during this holiday, and archaeological discoveries are a testimony to history. The mysterious attribute that comes with it has a natural attraction to tourists.
Therefore, in the context of frequent heated discussions about Sanxingdui archaeology, it is not surprising that there has been an upsurge of "archaeological tours".
