The Jinsha Ruins is a site from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, where the densest concentration of ivory, and the most abundant number of gold and jade artifacts were unearthed in the world's sites of the same period.
The most famous of these is the "Sun Bird" gold foil in the fourth exhibition hall, which has been identified as the symbol of Chinese cultural heritage and the main pattern of Chengdu's city image.
You can watch the 4D movie "Dream Back to Jinsha" at your own expense.

The ticket sales time in the off-season ends at 17:30. Since I couldn't control the return time in Huanglongxi, I booked tickets early on China-TravelNote and got a free electronic explanation for 64 yuan/person. I didn't listen to many sections, but people who like to study history can listen to it more times. The museum is very large and is divided into a relic hall and an exhibition hall. The relic hall is directly located on the real relics. The route planning is very good so you won't get lost or have to go back. There is a large park outside the museum with well-maintained lawns. They are preparing for the Sun Festival, which should be the festival of the Sun Bird. It feels very sacred. Being in it, you can feel the piety of the people of Chengdu praying to God. I may fall in love with visiting museums because of Chengdu
It was Museum Day on May 18th. Although I went early and there were many people there, luckily I was alone.
The most shocking thing is the ebony. In addition to the ebony forest, there is also a giant tree that is dozens of meters long and weighs 10 tons. It is amazing.
If there are few people, it's beautiful like a park, but once it's free, it's crowded!
Great museum! Many precious collections, comparable to Sanxingdui.
This is the 8th attraction in Chengdu. I have to say that this type of museum is very much to my taste.
The site has unearthed the most concentrated ivory, gold and jade artifacts of the same period in the world. The most famous of these is the Sun Bird Gold Foil, which has been identified as the symbol of China's cultural heritage and the main pattern of Chengdu's city image.
The museum's treasure is the gold foil of the Sun Bird, which has a very modern and beautiful design. It makes one imagine that maybe someone brought it back through time and space.
You can ask for explanations on WeChat and follow the official account. Or you can directly ask a tour guide, who will give you detailed explanations.
It is an iconic landscape representing the long history of Chengdu. Through the guide's explanation, you will have a deeper understanding and experience of Chengdu and Shu culture.
Tickets: ¥80
I happened to meet a volunteer guide in the ruins hall. The old lady explained very well. I give her a thumbs up. The collection is very rich. It is best to visit it together with the Sanxingdui Museum.
Personally, I think it's worth a visit. There are many collectibles on display here, especially jade and gold artifacts, which are really dazzling.
This is also a must-visit place in Chengdu. If you buy tickets online, you can get a slightly cheaper price. It's about 70 RMB, but it may be a bit expensive for a museum. But there is a saying that since you are here, why not take a look? It was not until I walked into the underground palace and saw those things and exhibits that I felt that the 70 RMB was worth it.
The tickets were purchased online, so it was easy to get in and save a few dollars.
There is WIFI inside, you can scan the QR code to listen to the explanation.
I suggest you buy tickets online, which is more than ten yuan cheaper. The feeling of entering is very grand and historical.
I originally planned to visit the museum, but I didn't expect the ticket to be 80 yuan, and the objects inside were not as good as those in the ordinary provincial museums. It is not a place worth recommending. It can be said that there is only one [Sunbird] supporting the entire museum. Friends who are interested in historical sites are still recommended to come and visit.
The subway arrived, the overall scenery is good, the ruins museum and treasure display are quite good. The gold foil of the Sun Bird is very beautiful, and the ticket price is a bit expensive.
Opened in 2017, the exhibition hall is in very good condition and very thoughtful - the level of exhibition halls in China is improving very quickly now. For explanations, just follow the WeChat public account.
The most treasure of the museum: The Sun Bird is a traditional Chinese cultural symbol. It is worth seeing.
I think this is quite interesting. You can learn some things about archaeology. It consists of an excavation site + an exhibition area. The ancient artifacts found in the excavation site are placed in the exhibition area. I saw a way of archaeology, digging down in a square.
Although I often go to Chengdu, many of the attractions in Chengdu have only been visited for many years. . .
It's good to learn about history. There are few tourists here, so you can enjoy it quietly. The courtyard here is very large and beautiful!
If you are interested in history, it is recommended to go and have a look. You must listen to the explanation. You can listen to it on WeChat (bring a power bank). It is still good. I personally feel that the ticket is a bit expensive ~ 80 ~ more classic, Sun Bird, Golden Mask, Ebony Forest, Ivory ~
I was a little disappointed after the visit. I thought there would be a lot of Sanxingdui unearthed cultural relics inside, but I thought too much. There is only a site where everything has been cleared out and some comparative exhibits. The more famous ones are the Sun Bird and the golden mask. I finished the tour quickly. There are free explanations at the entrance of each exhibition hall. You can scan the code to listen. It may be more interesting to listen and watch at the same time. If I were to choose again, I would go to Du Fu Thatched Cottage!
In order to protect the ruins area and wait for the conditions for mining to become more mature, many cultural relics are buried on the spot.
Because I went to the wrong door, I didn't get a tour guide. But there are free tour guides on WeChat, which are also good.
The magical Ba culture. The immortal ebony that has lasted for thousands of years.
I went there on May 18th and got a commemorative ticket for International Museum Day. Since the tickets were free, there were a lot of people visiting, so the visiting experience was not so good. But the exhibits inside made me feel that it was worth a visit. A large number of ivory, deer antlers and wild boar tusks were unearthed here, as well as many bronze vessels and beautiful stones for sacrifices, gold vessels for decoration, including the prototype of the Chinese cultural heritage logo - the Sun Bird. I can deeply feel the breadth of the ancient Shu culture here, and after seeing it, I really want to go to Sanxingdui.
Wow, I gave it 5 stars. The 4D cinema gave me an arrow, which was really a critical hit.
Can you fix the screen?
The roof design of the exhibition hall is great, I took a lot of photos. The rest is just knowledge.
Very shocking
The third exhibition hall is designed with great aesthetic value. It combines modern technology with cultural relics, which is very shocking. Once you walk in, you will immediately calm down. The sound of stone chimes lingers in the air, and the iron mesh is faintly visible. It is really impressive and will linger in your memory for a long time. This is my favorite exhibition hall.
The free explanations on the WeChat public account are informative, interesting and vivid. I highly recommend it.
Directly accessible by subway, very convenient.
There is free WIFI and WeChat explanation. In addition to the ruins, the park also has green trees and birdsong, and the scenery is nice.
The building is magnificent, the collection is rich, the discoveries are amazing, and the museum is priceless.
The ticket price is a little expensive...but the sun bird is super beautiful!
You can buy tickets online by following the official account at the entrance. The official account contains explanations of the relics of each museum, which are very detailed and vivid. It is necessary to listen to them. It is quite tiring to visit the whole museum in one go. Since I listened carefully to every explanation, it took more than two hours to finish the tour.
Ticket price: 80 yuan (60 yuan can be purchased online, and there are more cost-effective packages for watching performances) You can also apply for an annual pass, which is more cost-effective
Time: 8:00-18:00 (closed on Mondays)
Transportation: 2.5 Central subway is very convenient, whether you drive, take a taxi, take the subway or take the bus, it is very convenient
Recommendation index: five stars
The ruins museum built on the original site has been excavated about 10% now. The official WeChat also has voice explanations. You can watch and listen at the same time, which is very rewarding! When I went there today, I also visited the Pompeii exhibition, which was super beautiful!
The wisdom and aesthetics of the ancient Chinese people are breathtaking and soul-stirring. The more you learn about them, the more you admire them.
The museum built on the original site allows for close viewing. There are four exhibition halls, all filled with treasures.
The ticket is 80 yuan, and the scenic area is quite large. Not only are there many cultural relics, but there are also deer, which feels very worthwhile.
Tickets are 40 yuan each, and students can enjoy a discount of 20 yuan each. Winter 8:00 to 18:30. (Tickets stop selling at 17:30) Summer 8:00 to 20:00 (Tickets stop selling at 19:00). Every time I travel, I always like to learn about the history and stories of a place. If you like museums, take a look.
A place worth visiting in Chengdu, showing the culture of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, I was shocked by Chinese culture! I just went there two days ago, and it happened to be the Sun Festival and the Lantern Festival. I haven't seen the Lantern Festival for a long time. It is exactly: the river beach is decorated with colorful lights, and the crowds are surging with joy. The Chinese dream of a rich country and a strong people, the people of China are endlessly happy.
It is very historical and has unearthed a large number of cultural relics from the Zhou Dynasty. The most famous one is the gold ornaments of the Sun Bird, which is especially worth visiting.
As a daughter who likes history in the first grade of junior high school, I like this place very much! And the explanation after following WeChat is also very good!
The ancient Shu civilization is very different from the contemporary Shang and Zhou civilizations. The bronze wares are all so artistic, delicate and beautiful. The exhibits inside are mysterious, but it is better to ask for an explanation.
The garden is well landscaped and the museum is well designed. It is touching to think that the exhibits are thousands of years old. I also encountered the Pompeii exhibition, which was very interesting to compare and contrast.
Originally, it was just a relic from the Shang and Zhou dynasties where a large number of cultural relics were unearthed. However, every year, the "Sun Festival" is held here, which is accompanied by some foreign cultural relics exhibitions. The one I saw was ancient Egyptian cultural relics. However, I still prefer the cultural relics exhibition unearthed from the ruins themselves, because these are the unique characteristics of the local area. You can also experience the 4D cinema here.
The garden is not big, and the exhibition hall only has five special exhibition halls and a relic hall. There is not much content, and two hours is enough to see the exhibition. The advantage is that the greening outside is so good. There are many bamboos as thick as bowls in the garden, which are connected into pieces and sway in the wind. It is so beautiful. It is worth a visit
It is worth visiting. The design of the exhibition hall is very good and brilliant.
Personally, I think you still need a commentator. You can't save the money, or you'll just be on the spur of the moment. Otherwise, you can rent an electronic commentator, which is not expensive and is necessary.
The most important historical discovery in Chengdu in recent years, one of the important cultural roots of the ancient Shu civilization. Because of it, Sanxingdui was almost forgotten. The Sun Bird logo that can be seen everywhere in Chengdu can be found here. Every year around the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival, there will be a lantern festival in the park outside the museum.
It is very convenient to go there from Chengdu. It seems to be the Yipintianxia subway station. Then take a short ride on the yellow car and you will arrive. The ticket is 80 yuan. If you buy it at the scenic spot, it does not include 4D movies. If you want to watch 4D movies, you can buy tickets on Ctrip.
The scenic area is very large, and there are people doing morning exercises. The first museum is an excavation site with various exploration areas. There is a voice explanation on WeChat, which is very good.
The second hall is the exhibition hall, which is full of exquisite items. I hope we can continue to dig and decipher the secrets of this magical civilization.
"Xiao Jin" is generous, the experience of the ruins museum is very good, and there is a plank road that allows you to go down to the excavation site for a close visit. The voice explanation of the official WeChat is also very good, explaining a lot of knowledge that you don't usually know. The combination makes the visit more fulfilling. The large tree roots at the exit are spectacular, and I feel a little nervous when I step on the glass floor... I like the exhibition hall of the Sun Bird so much, which completely sets off the atmosphere of the most holy mystery. The exhibition stand is rotating, which is convenient for guests from all angles to visit when there are many people, but it is not convenient for people like me to take pictures when there are few people. The large ebony outside the exhibition hall is very shocking, and the time frozen in it is amazing.
If you can’t go to Sanxingdui, come here!
Follow their official account to listen to explanations of every place!
Friends who like archaeology and ancient Shu culture should go and see it!
You must come here when you come to Chengdu. In addition to the museum, there is also a large park with a large lawn. In December, there are yellow ginkgo leaves, which are very beautiful. There is also a deer park deep in the park. The deer in it are very cute. Elderly people often bring their children to play. Now that the subway has been opened, it is more convenient to go here.
The exhibits are quite interesting, but there aren't too many of them, and the exhibition area is not large. Remember not to go on free days, or you'll be squeezed to death. Anyway, it feels like a waste of time if there are so many people.
It is a very distinctive attraction. It is strongly recommended to walk around the exhibition hall after visiting.
It has a lot of cultural heritage and as a Chengdu native you must visit it once.
From Du Fu Thatched Cottage, you can take a bus to the Historical Witness. I am personally quite interested in it. Comrades who don't like cultural relics from the Pre-Qin period should consider it.
The relics that carry the accumulation of time and history make people marvel at the nobility and wisdom of human thought.
A well-equipped museum, more like a big park, is actually two venues, one is the ruins hall and the other is the collection hall. In fact, there is no need to find an explanation (whether the explainers will hate me...). There is a QR code inside, you can scan it to follow Jinsha, and then you can listen to the explanation inside, free~ In addition, if you have luggage, you can store it in the cabinet at the door, and you need a one-yuan coin to use it. I came to the museum before catching the plane. I was carrying a big box, but I didn’t have any coins. I exchanged money with others like a good person, but no one had it. I had to pull the box into the ruins hall, so I couldn’t go down to take a deeper look... But when I got to the collection hall, I put it with the beautiful woman at the front desk, which was exhausting. Although there is only one floor that is really worth seeing, it is enough. Such old objects are very aura, especially the sun bird and the golden mask, which are majestic~
There is a WeChat guide in the museum. You can listen to whichever one you want. You should go to the museum and be influenced by history.
I really feel that the ticket price is not worth it. There is a relic museum and an exhibition hall. The relic museum is similar to the Terracotta Warriors, and it preserves the excavated ruins, but it is much inferior in comparison. There are too few things in the exhibition hall.
I spent half a day wandering around the ruins, which were so huge that I also caught up with the Ancient Egypt exhibition.
The historical and cultural relics of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, well, I came here to see the Sun Bird. It's totally worth the price of admission.
You can follow WeChat and listen to the online explanations, which are quite good. The museum also has free explanations regularly.
My friend told me that there was an Egyptian exhibition here recently, so I decided to come here on a whim. Tickets cost 80. The Egyptian exhibition was easy to understand, and many children came to see it. I also felt that it was very beneficial. I couldn't understand the difficult ones, so this kind of easy-to-understand one was good. The 155 exhibits were all from the collection of the Royal Ontario Museum in Canada (Why was the Egyptian exhibition held by a Canadian museum?) I was a little excited to see the real mummies.
It was closed on Monday, so heartbroken! I didn't make it!!
It’s just so-so. I didn’t go in, but I took a look from the outside. The lights are pretty good.
My second favorite place in Chengdu is a place where you can touch history. I entered the museum at 9:30 am on weekends, and there was almost no one. It is recommended to visit for 2 hours. History needs to settle down and watch it slowly. I listened to the WeChat voice guide one by one, which took about two hours. I went into the Relics Museum to witness the process of historical excavation, and then went to the Cultural Relics Museum to restore history. It was very real and shocking. The Cultural Relics Museum is divided into five exhibition areas, each with its own characteristics, clear themes, and rich collections! It has a strong sense of design, and the collections are arranged in rows, so you won't feel bored. The WeChat voice guide is a surprise, which is not seen in many mature libraries. However, if it is in line with international standards, I hope to launch an English version as soon as possible. In addition, the operation of WeChat voice is not convenient enough. You need to press a specific place to open it, and it often gets stuck. The matching with the exhibits is not humane enough. I hope it can be improved. If you like history, you really shouldn't miss it~ In addition, I heard someone say that it is really not worth the price. I can only say that history is priceless. I feel very meaningful if I can do my best to protect them. I hope to meet you next time I come here. ps The explanation fee has increased. The notifications in the exhibition hall are not synchronized enough. It's just me. Is 100 too expensive? The original price is acceptable...
It's really great. I'm glad I came here, otherwise it would be a big regret. These unearthed cultural relics with beautiful shapes and exquisite craftsmanship are amazing. I can't help but be deeply impressed by the great creativity and superb craftsmanship of the ancient ancestors.
I went to the museum on Monday and found out that it is closed on Mondays, so bees who want to visit the museum must pay attention to the time, but there are exceptions in January, February, July, and August every year. This is what I saw on the closing notice, but unfortunately I forgot to take a photo. I went there early on Tuesday morning. There were very few visitors. You must listen to the audio guide when visiting the ruins hall and the exhibition hall. You can listen to it by adding the official WeChat account. Otherwise, you will just see a circle of dirt piles. I really learned a lot while listening to the audio guide. It’s a pity that one of the exhibition halls in the exhibition hall was under renovation, so I didn’t see the golden mask. The museum also raises sika deer, and the toilets are really clean!
There are historical relics and a regular human environment
Friends who like culture and history, as well as those traveling with children, should go and have a look. But please note that the museum is closed on Mondays.
I happened to encounter maintenance, otherwise it would be nice to watch 4D movies.
It's worth a visit. Especially when I first entered the third exhibition hall, I was very impressed.
The ancient Shu Kingdom archaeological site is suitable for a leisurely stroll. The sun bird ornaments and golden masks are stunning.
I bought the ticket with my student ID card, so the original price was a bit expensive! The museum is well built and very mysterious. When I went there, there was also a special exhibition of the kings of Jiangxi. The surrounding environment is also good and there are sika deer raised. In short, five-star praise!
It is worth a visit. The wisdom and intelligence of the ancient people are admirable. The Sun Bird is so magical and incredible.
The museum was built on the original site, with the gold foil of the Sun Bird pattern as its treasure. The explanation needs headphones to be listened to, which is superfluous and not good!
It's fun. It's not just a museum for exhibiting cultural relics, but more of a place for entertainment. It's quite interesting. The ruins museum is quite impressive, and the tree roots make you feel like you're in close contact with history. There is a free audio guide on WeChat, which is very good. The outside is a bit like a park, so it's good to bring children here. It's better than Sanxingdui and it's still in the city.
