First discovered in 2001, the Jinsha archaeological site is considered one of the most significant discoveries on the ancient Shu Kingdom. Start your exploration at the excavation site (Relics Halls) to see where the relics have been excavated and to gain an appreciation for the archaeological process. Then move on to the Exhibition Halls, where important relics are displayed. Highlights include the Sun and Immortal Bird Gold Foil and Golden Mask. Go back in time in the 4D Cinema, or walk around the extensive garden and grounds, including Jinsha Deer Park, Ebony Woods, and Jade Road.
Many tours combine visits to the Jinsha Site Museum and Chengdu Research Base of Giant Panda Breeding. Archaeology fans can learn more about the Shu culture by adding a visit to the Sanxingdui Museum. Or opt for a private tour to add a stop at the Jinsha Site Museum to any customized itinerary.
