The Jinsha archaeological site and the Jinsha site museum complex are located just 7 kilometers West of Chengdu. The Jinsha site was recently discovered and dates to about 1,000 BC. It shows different jade artifacts, bronze objects and carved stones that belonged to the Jinsha culture (1,200 – 650 BC).
The Jinsha archaeological site is the first dig where the cultural relics were discovered. So far, archaeologists have unearthed important features of a large-scale palace foundation, a sacrificial area, a residential area and burial site. In this excavation site you can see the interesting pits and images of the artefacts found there. The Jinsha archaeological site is of great significance for the study of this ancient culture, including its origin, development and decline.
The Jinsha site museum features a multi-media interactive system to compare the Jinsha culture with other contemporary civilizations and shows the most important relics like the iconic golden mask. The garden near-by is another interesting attraction because of the ginkgos, metasequoias and other ancient trees that grow there.
