It seems that the Yinxu Museum has been newly opened. There is nothing in the ruins here. Time is related. The museum has no time to go. Probably, the place of world cultural heritage is worth a visit.
MoreInformation about the museum area
Yinxu is the site of the capital of the late Shang Dynasty in China. It is the first capital confirmed in Chinese history and is located in Yindu District, Anyang City. A large number of bronze artifacts, oracle bones and other cultural relics with precious historical value have been unearthed in Yinxu. Among them, the "Simuwu Large Square Ding" weighing 875 kilograms is a precious bronze artifact; and oracle bones are the predecessors of ancient Chinese writing and Chinese characters. Its discovery has changed China's archaeological chronicles and brought China's credible history with written records back to the Shang Dynasty.
The total area of Yinxu is very large, reaching 24 square kilometers. Tourists mainly visit the Yinxu Museum (currently moved to the new Yinxu Museum), the Yinxu Royal Tombs and the Yinxu Palace Temple Site. The signboards in the scenic area are very clear, and it is very easy to walk around according to these signs. The Yinxu Museum (new building), which opened in March 2024, displays a large number of unearthed cultural relics such as bronze, stone, and jade, but precious cultural relics such as the "Simuwu Large Square Ding" and the "Fuhao Owl Zun" have been transferred to the National Museum of China or the Henan Museum. What you see here are replicas of cultural relics.
The Yinxu Royal Tombs in the scenic area are recognized by the academic community as the royal mausoleum and sacrificial site of the Shang Dynasty. A large number of oracle bones and bronze artifacts were unearthed in the palace area, including the "Simuwu Large Square Ding". 13 royal tombs, more than 2,000 burial tombs, sacrificial pits and chariot pits have been discovered here. In the eastern area of the Royal Tombs, there are many sacrificial pits with many people (those buried alive) and animal skeletons in them. It was a public sacrificial site for the Yin royal family to worship their ancestors.
The palace and ancestral temple ruins of Yinxu were the places where the Shang kings handled government affairs and lived. They are the most important ruins and components of Yinxu, including more than 80 palace and ancestral temple foundations. To the west and south of the palace and ancestral temple ruins, there is an artificially dug defense moat that surrounds the palace and ancestral temple, playing a role similar to that of a palace city. The ancestral temple ruins are also one of the famous "classical city-states" among the ancient civilizations of the world.
The palace and ancestral temple ruins also include the tomb of Fu Hao, the wife of King Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty. This is the best-preserved tomb of a member of the Shang royal family discovered so far, and it is also the tomb of a member of the Shang royal family that can be linked to oracle bones and determine the age, tomb owner and identity. 16 "sacrificial victims" were also found in the tomb, and thousands of artifacts were unearthed, including bone, jade and bronze artifacts.
In the eastern part of the scenic area, there is an "Oracle Bone Stele Beilin", which displays a large number of oracle bone inscriptions in the form of steles. Interested tourists can go and have a look.

Yin Xu is the site of the capital city of the late Shang Dynasty in China. It is located on both sides of the Lihe River in the northwest suburb of Anyang City, Henan Province. It is centered on Xiaotun Village and has an area of about 30 square kilometers. The later Shang Dynasty is called Beimeng, also known as Yin. It was relocated from the capital in the 14th century BC. It was passed down to the country, and it was passed down to 12 kings in 8 generations, and it was 273 years before and after. After Zhou destroyed Yin, Wu Xuan, the son of Zeng Feng, was killed by Wu Xuan rebellion, and Yin people moved away and gradually became ruins, so it was called Yin Ruins.
Yinxu has long wanted to go, this time I also caught up with the children and there are discounts. To say that the scenery environment is definitely not to talk about, the fun is not as good as the text museum. After all, the nature is different. Going to Yinxu is not for seeing the scenery and interaction. The service staff in the scenic spot are very enthusiastic and the service is still very good. But Yinxu because of its special situation, in fact, there are not many things to see, or recommend friends who want to go to find a good explanation in advance, so that the harvest will be greater.
When I went there was not a holiday, there were not many people, and the tour was particularly comfortable. The interpreters in the park were very professional and enthusiastic. Bring the children to feel the Yinshang culture. Many exhibits were very shocking! There are light shows and performances in the evening, and the children also experienced the task stamping, which is very cost-effective! When I went to the new hall, I was not open to the public, and I was going to the new hall again during the holiday.
