Welcome to Liangzhu
Yaoshan Site
On July 6, 2019, the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City was officially inscribed on the World Heritage List at the 43rd World Heritage Convention. It is China’s 55th World Heritage Site. With its inscription onto the World Heritage List, the number of China’s world heritage sites now ranks No.1 in the world.
Liangzhu Museum is an archaeological museum that collects cultural relics unearthed from the Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City. The museum has a collection of more than 3,000 movable cultural relics, mainly jade, pottery, stone vessels, bone objects, as well as pottery and ceramics from ancient times. The permanent exhibition features 608 pieces (sets) of cultural relics, nearly half of which are new archaeological discoveries in the past ten years. Typical objects on display are jade Cong, jade Bi, jade Yue, jade-inlaid lacquer cups, carved pottery jars and so on.
The Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City in the Yangtze River Delta of China reveal an early regional state with a unified belief, supported by rice-farming in the late Neolithic Age. The ruins consist of four parts: Yaoshan Site, High-dam at the Mouth of the Valley, Low-dam on the Plain, and City Site.
The ruins are outstanding examples of early urban civilization through large earthen structures, urban planning, water systems, and the social hierarchy embodied in burial.
The permanent exhibition is divided into three exhibition halls and introduces the Liangzhu Culture, the Liangzhu Ancient City and jade artefacts of Liangzhu.
The warm light streaming out from the beautiful wooden ultra-fine lattice greets you quietly.
