4.5/5Wonderful!(3 area reviews)

If you're a traveler that's interested in museums, Yubei might be a good pick.

Yubei
China is a land of contrast. Although parts of Hongya Cave are a recreation, the site boasts 2300 years of history. The stilted building is accessible from three roads on three different floors. Across the Jianglin River, the site is mirrored by modern high-rise buildings. A suspension bridge spans the river between Old and New. The view here is obtained from walking behind the waterfall on the west side of the building.
