This summer, the Sanxingdui Museum will collaborate with nearby villages to combine visiting experiences with projects such as bronze casting, attracting hundreds of visitors every day to come and experience it. According to statistics, museums in Henan, Gansu and other places have appropriately extended their opening hours, launched "night tours" services, explored the cancellation of "closed days", and increased immersive projects.
