For Chinese people, 2019 is the year of the pig and therefore, pig-related things are coming under greater attention in the country.
In Taicang, Jiangsu, there is a Swine Cultural Museum, the first swine-themed museum in the province, which was established by a livestock feed supplier, Taiwan Anyou Group, in 2011.
The museum collects many different swine-related articles, including hog houses, bronzes, wood carvings, porcelains, oracle-bone inscriptions and stamps with pig patterns.
People may visit the museum on any working day for free.
Open time: 8:30-17:00
Address: No 239, Xingangzhong Road, Taicang
