Dayi County


Dayi County is a county of the City of Chengdu, capital city of Sichuan, China. It is Chengdu City's westernmost division, bordering the prefecture-level divisions of Ya'an to the south and the Ngawa Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture to the north.
The Jianchuan Museum Cluster is located in the town of Anren, Dayi County, about one hour's drive from the provincial capital Chengdu. It consists of 15 museums which showcase China's largest private collection of artifacts amassed during the last 60–70 years.
Also in Anren but outside the museum cluster is the Liu Family Estate Museum, formerly the Dayi Landlord Manor Exhibition Hall. It opened in 1959 and developed a nationwide significance in 1965 after installing the life-size clay sculpture series Rent Collection Courtyard. In its first decades, the museum emphasized the history of China's class struggle and had tens of millions of visitors. As the Liu Family Estate Museum, it places greater emphasis on aspects of heritage tourism and the aesthetic qualities of Rent Collection Courtyard.
