The Jinsha Site is located in Golden Sand Village, Suland Village, west of Shu City in Chinese Shu Province, covering an area of about 5 square kilometers. It was the capital of the ancient Shu Kingdom, a center of ancient civilization along the upper Yangtze River, from the 12th century to the 7th century BC.
The rediscovery of the Jinsha Site has brought to light the splendor of the ancient Shu Kingdom. The main cultural remains date from the late Shang Dynasty to the Western Zhou Period, with significant ruins such as large architectural foundations, ceremonial areas, general residential sites, and extensive cemeteries.
From the entire site, more than 5,000 precious artifacts have been unearthed, including gold, bronze, jade, stone tools, ivory, lacquerware, and beyond that, tens of thousands of pottery shards, tons of ivory, and thousands of Wild Boar tusks and deer antlers.
