The Jiangnan Hundred Beds Museum houses nearly 30 ancient Jiangnan beds dating from the Ming Dynasty. One can see both the luxury of wealthy merchants and the simplicity of ordinary people, which can be regarded as an epitome of history. The designs of these beds are quite exquisite. Among them, the eye-catching ‘Qing Dynasty canopy bed with a thousand days of work’ has three tiers in total and was carved in three years. It is the treasure of the museum. Among the collections of the museum, there are scholar beds made of beech wood for men to sleep on, four-compartment beds, as well as three-compartment, two-compartment, and zero-compartment beds. Each bed carries rich historical and life connotations, either seeking peace or praying for many descendants. Tourists can perceive the state of mind of the ancients from them. The ingenious designs and meticulous carvings of the craftsmen in the Ming and Qing Dynasties on bed making are also astonishing. Open all year round from 8:00 to 17:00. The specific business status is subject to the opening situation on that day.
