Jinsha Site Museum

The museum is built on top of the dig. You look down into the sacrificial pits from a walkway, instead of at objects moved into a gallery. The gold Sun Bird found here in 2001 became China's cultural heritage emblem in 2005.

The museum is built over the excavation itself — you look down on the sacrificial pits from a walkway rather than at objects moved into a gallery. The Sun Bird gold ornament found here in 2001 became China's official cultural heritage emblem in 2005. Check the official site for the current visiting status.

The English pages live on a separate subdomain from the Chinese homepage, so the main site may look Chinese-only at first glance.
