Introduction

Jinsha Site Museum sits in Qingyang District, Chengdu, Sichuan, China, built atop a Shang–Zhou era capital of the ancient Shu state. The 2001 excavation stunned the world with the gold 'Sun and Immortal Birds' insignia, golden masks and a bronze standing figure — evidence of the ancient Shu civilization along the upper Yangtze. The museum pairs the protected original dig site with exhibition halls; ebony-forest and jade-road displays reconstruct three-thousand-year-old ritual and life, a window into the Jinsha legend that 'slept for millennia, then awed the world awake.'
