Jinsha Site is the most important archaeological discoery in the 21th century and listed as the state level key protection unit of China. The Jinsha site was accidentally discovered in Feb 2001 in the course of local real estate construction.
The site was at its heyday around 1000 BC and has much in common with the burial objects with the Sanxingdui site, about 50 km away. A large amount of Ivories, jade artifacts, bronze objects, gold objects and carved stone objects were discovered at the site.
Jinsha culture (1200-650 BC) was a final stage of Sanxingdui culture and showcases a relocation of the political center in the ancient Shu Kingdom.
The Jinsha Site Museum occupies an area of 300,000 square meters with a total construction area of approximately 35,000 square meters. It is composed of four major parts – Relic Hall, Exhibition Hall, the Culture Relics Preservation Center and Jinsha Theatre and Leisure Area.
