On December 17, the new museum of Yuegang Maritime Silk Road in Longhai District was officially opened, and the Minnan Cultural Exhibition and Exchange Center in Longhai District was inaugurated.
After a year, with an investment of about 3.5 million yuan, the Yuegang Maritime Silk Road Museum was able to move from the original corner of the village to the core area of the Yuegang Historical Landscape Conservation Area, and changed from the original rented private house exhibition to the official exhibition venue. With the theme of "Moon is the Bright Sea", the new museum has a total of 7 display areas, using a combination of dynamic and static expressions, with the best physical objects as the main display, and designing themes such as the canopy and the echo of the stars and seas, creating an immersive story about the past and present life of Yuegang, conveying the culture of the Maritime Silk Road with a new vision, further awakening the ancient marine memory, and presenting people with the charm of the thousand-year-old Maritime Silk Road culture.
Longhai District Minnan Cultural Exhibition and Exchange Center is located in Hougang Ancient Street. As the "back garden of Yuegang", Hougang Ancient Street is a historical relic of the prosperity of the ancient Yuegang commercial port, and the current phase of the block continues the historical and cultural features of the old Shima by rebuilding the ancient houses in southern Fujian and reshaping the eight scenes of Shima. There are local art exhibition halls such as Jinjiang Academy, Shima Theater, Minnan Cultural Hall, Longhai Hall of Fame and other local art exhibition halls in the street, which reproduce the humanistic scene of "old Shima, Guyue Port, the most southern Fujian and ancient flavor".
