Jinsha Site Museum
Jinsha Site Museum is a modern garden museum that displays the ancient Shu Culture of Sichuan during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties and is a landmark in Chengdu City. It is built on the Jinsha Ruins (the oldest site in Chengdu). The two major buildings of the Jinsha Site Museum, which is slowly increasing, are the Ruins Gallery and Exhibition Hall built on slopes. The finest two symbols of cosmology are the circular design of the Ruins Gallery and the square exhibition building. Ancient people believed the universe was orbicular and the earth was a rectangle.
Ruins Gallery, which faces East Gate's Qingyang Avenue, is the spot where massive spaces to offer the sacrifice of Jinsha Ruins can be located, and it is China's best-reserved large site for holding worship ceremonies. The display of original discoveries, such as massive tree roots, not only preserves the treasures' integrity and authenticity but also provides visitors with visual shocks. This is the ideal setting for experiencing enormous ancient sacrifices and attentively inspecting archaeological activities.
On two stories and one basement, the Site Exhibition Hall in the north has five halls and a 4D cinema. Primitive Homeland (900 square meters) is located on the second floor of the west hall. The diorama, in conjunction with the well-designed live-action, depicts an actual living environment of 3000 years ago. The King Palace at a Glance (900 sq m) is located in the eastern hall of the second level and depicts the lifestyles of ancient Jinsha people through life sketches, tools, tombs, pottery production, and other activities.
