三星堆博物馆 — Attraction in Deyang

A mesmerizing journey into a mysteriously powerful Bronze Age civilization—Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, Sichuan blends breathtaking artistry with cutting-edge presentation.

Highlights: • Over 1,500 relics on display—including 600 newly unearthed treasures from six sacrificial pits—including bronze trees, gold masks, and towering ritual statues . • The newly opened museum (July 2023) spans 54,400 m², with three thoughtfully themed halls: “Century Dream Chasing,” “Majestic Royal Capital,” and “Heaven, Earth, Man and God” . • Innovative tech: glass-free 3D media, AI-augmented displays, 3D-printed bronze reconstructions, and immersive media like holographic digs and projection-surround cityscapes make history feel alive .

What I Loved: • The bronze tree and large ritual statues have such otherworldly presence—they challenge traditional views of ancient Chinese art . • Informative displays on archaeology, conservation, and restoration (complete with live workshops) add depth to the experience . • The grounds are bright, green, and thoughtfully landscaped—a calming lead-in to the awe indoors .

A Few Caveats: • Ticketing is strictly online via WeChat or official site and sells out fast—reserve up to 5 days in advance . • The temporary parking area is a bit rough (unpaved and dusty), though a permanent lot is due to open soon . • Gift shop and on-site amenities could be more varied—some visitors noted limited souvenir options and modest café facilities .

Final Verdict: Sanxingdui Museum is a must-visit for lovers of history, archaeology, art, or immersive storytelling. It redefines our understanding of ancient China, showcasing a civilization as rich and enigmatic as any. Plan ahead for tickets, pack water or snacks, and get ready to be awed.

Recommend tips: • Book early, aim for a morning slot • Use the English audio guide if exploring solo • Wear comfortable shoes—there’s lots to see • Bring snacks or eat before/after—on-site food options are limited

An unforgettable blend of mystery, artistry, and modern technology—Sanxingdui is definitely worth...

The 4 prized exhibits - a complete bronze statue of a man, a gold sceptre, a bronze knife & a bronze tree. The last one in particular, took 10 years to piece together. As the guide rightfully put it, many of the exhibits here are like pro level Lego, where the archaeologists have to piece together, without any manual or sample.

What makes Sanxingdui so unique and special is that after almost 100 years since the discovery of the first item, they've still yet to find any records of language and written literature, that could further explain the purpose of these items and makes it harder to trace the start of this civilisation and what happened to them (what ended them). So alot of what is seen and described by the guide are opinion-based / guess info. But I think that's what makes this whole place and museum so intriguing. Such expertise and finesse displayed in the artifacts such as the ability to carve drawings into fine, thin, gold plates, to cut thru jade without any real tools, at least none discovered yet. Hence many mysteries remain unsolved, un-answered. What's the mystical creature the man appears to be riding? What does the different hairdo or hair dresshead symbolise? What tools did they use to cut thru the jade? How did they communicate? Why the obsession with the prayers (what was unearthed appears to be used in ceremonial prayers)? What Gods did they pray to? Why did the civilisation end?

And because there were so many unsolved mysteries, the civilisation was once thought to be of alien descent. Very interesting museum, I enjoyed it very much.

There's also an area opposite the main museum where you can watch how the...

the cultural level is already high at the moment, and lasted for 700years but disappeared

i quite impressed with the figure a man stretching his back above his head, this is imagination for the supergod, the gold face mask is cute too and Bronze Grand Statue of Human Figure, seem like dancing on stage haha

i think the museum is definitely worth for visit in the historical and cultural aspect, but it’s too crowded and the whole visit is rushing can’t really read them thoroughly…and honestly it’s quite tiring walking in such crowded one loll
