Forest of Stone Steles Museum 西安碑林博物馆
Choose the Forest of Steles when calligraphy, inscriptions or the physical life of writing interests you. Look at the size, surface and arrangement of selected stones before reading every explanation. Even without fluent Chinese, a prepared account of a few works can make the visit meaningful. Pair it with Shuyuanmen so old stone texts and present-day brushes or seals speak to one another. This works better as a focused half-day than as an extra squeezed between the Terracotta Army and another major museum.
