Chengdu Jinsha Site | A thousand years of history and ancient charm.

|A thousand years of history and ancient charm.📍Address: Jinsha Site is located in Jinsha Village, Supo Township, western suburb of Chengdu, covering an area of about 5 square kilometers. It is the largest Shang and Zhou Dynasty cultural site discovered in Chengdu so far, showcasing the brilliance of ancient Shu culture from the late Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Dynasty, and demonstrating the mysterious ancient Shu culture and unique bronze civilization. Today, the Jinsha Site Museum is a modern garden-style museum integrating education, research and leisure. It covers an area of 300,000 square meters and has a total construction area of 38,000 square meters. It consists of the Relic Hall, Exhibition Hall and Visitor Center, becoming a landmark representing Chengdu's long history. 🏝️Attraction Features: The Jinsha Site Museum exhibits numerous artifacts unearthed from the Jinsha Site, among which the most famous are: Golden Sunbird Ornament: This is a shining treasure of Jinsha culture. The pattern consists of twelve equidistant, rotating, tooth-like rays on the inner layer, and four birds with their hands and feet connected front and back, flying around the rotating sun, symbolizing light, life and eternity. Golden Mask: This is the largest and best-preserved golden mask of the same period discovered in China so far. It is 20.5 cm wide, 10.4 cm high and 0.08 cm thick. Its majestic appearance reflects the developed witchcraft and religious culture of ancient Shu civilization. Bronze Standing Figure: A bronze artifact from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties. The figure is short and stocky, with a thin and square jaw, large ears and pierced earlobes. His hands are clasped in front of his chest. It forms a clear contrast with the "Bronze Big Standing Figure" of Sanxingdui. Golden Crown Belt: Circular in shape, with a larger diameter at the top and a smaller diameter at the bottom. The decoration consists of four identical patterns, each with a fish, an arrow, a bird and a circle. Other attractions include ivory, ebony forest and deer park, which are also worth seeing. 🚗Transportation Guide: The Jinsha Site Museum is located near the middle ring road of Chengdu.
