Guo State Museum is a theme museum, built on the burial ground of Guo Vassal State of Western Zhou Dynasty which is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The museum, covering an area of 100,000 square meters, is China’s Second-class museum and AAAA Grade tourist spot where tourists can enjoy the display of its cultural relics, tomb sites and views of landscape. The basic displays are classified into five parts, namely History of the Guo State, Treasures Unearthed from the Guo State, The Unearthed Relics of the Tomb of Liangji, The Horse-and-chariot Burial Pit, as well as The Relics of King Guoji’s Tombs.

The burial ground of Guo Vassal State is a well-preserved large cemetery of the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou Dynasties with complete ranks and orderly arrangement in which the two king tombs of Guoji and Guozhong were respectively listed in China’s Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries in 1990 and 1991. In April, 2001, the burial ground of Guo Vassal State was listed in China’s One Hundred Archaeological Discoveries in the 20th Century.

In its two king tombs were unearthed a number of national historical relics, such as the Iron Sword with Jade Handle known as China’s First Iron Sword, and the delicate Jade Mask. The unearthed jade-wares are rarely incomparable in the Zhou Dynasty in terms of amount, craftsmanship and quality. Among the white jades, topazes and jaspers, most of them are Xinjiang HeTian jade. In the masterpieces of jade-wares the bionic animal jade carvings ranks the top of craftsmanship.

Visitors can not only appreciate the delicate unearthed cultural relics and experience the imposing manner of tombs of the highest-ranking kings, but also can walk into China’s earliest and largest underground battle array of chariots and horses troops that were made up of real chariots and horses 2800 years ago.
