Things to do in Deyang

Xiaoxiao, the guide at the Sanxingdui Museum, was extremely professional. Her explanations were ample in time and in-depth, covering not only the exhibits but also a great deal of archaeological knowledge, with excellent interactive elements. She brought the ancient Shu civilization to life in a vivid and easy-to-understand way. I learned a lot throughout the visit and highly recommend her. Her explanations of the Sanxingdui artifacts, casting techniques, and ancient Shu beliefs were clear, engaging, and the experience was excellent. I was very satisfied!

The Sanxingdui Archaeological Site Park is mainly composed of three exhibition areas, namely "Western City Wall Relics", "Yan Family Courtyard·Moon Bay" and "Sanxingdui·Sacrificial Pit·Archaeological Work Station", and the Sanxingdui Museum, which basically displays the cultural features and development level of the ancient Shu culture. In 2010, the Sanxingdui Archaeological Site Park became one of the first "National Archaeological Site Parks".

Sanxingdui Site – The Origin of the Yangtze River Civilization, a Site That Shook the World. Located on the south bank of the Yazi River in Guanghan City, Sichuan Province, the site covers an area of ​​12 km², with the core ancient city covering approximately 3.6 km². It is the largest, most complete, and longest-lasting ancient Shu capital site discovered in Southwest China to date. Latest Archaeological Progress (to be released in 2025): Precise Dating: Sacrificial pits 3, 4, 6, and 8 have a 95.4% probability of dating to 1201–1012 BC (Late Shang Dynasty). Artifacts from pits 1, 2, 3, 7, and 8 can be pieced together, confirming they were buried at the same time. New Casting Techniques: The "core-strip core support" bronze casting method was discovered for the first time, filling a gap in Chinese Bronze Age technology. Gold Usage: The total weight of unearthed gold artifacts exceeds 2 kg, the highest in China for the same period; gold masks and gold foil ornaments were refined using a gold-silver alloy and ash blowing method. Silk Traces: Silk residue was detected in multiple sacrificial pits, proving that people wore gold and brocade 3,000 years ago. Key artifacts: A large bronze mask (131 cm wide, weighing 131 catties, the world's largest Shang Dynasty bronze mask); a gold-masked bronze human head (42.5 cm, made from gold-plated wood, with openwork eyes and eyebrows); and over 5,000 other artifacts including a bronze sacred tree, a bird-shaped bronze bell, ivory carvings, and jade cong, showcasing the unique cosmology of the ancient Shu Kingdom. Sanxingdui buried the ancient Shu Kingdom's gold mask, bronze sacred tree, and silk sacrificial robes in late Shang Dynasty sacrificial pits. Their discovery today serves as the most dazzling evidence that the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers are both part of the mother river of Chinese civilization.

A sea of ​​clouds, lush trees, streams and waterfalls, the support and encouragement of my travel companions, and the pleasant coolness even in the height of summer—I'm sure it will be another beautiful sight to come back next March or April when the alpine rhododendrons are in full bloom.

To be honest, the overall structure of Deyang Confucian Temple is similar to that of Nanjing Confucius Temple. A mature commercial street has been formed with the Confucian Temple as the center. The Confucian Temple is also very large, with many ancient buildings dating back to the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is also a detailed introduction to Confucius's doctrine of benevolence and courtesy.

The Yinghua Grand Canyon rafting trip was truly worthwhile! The moment I got in, the waves splashed all over my face, and I screamed with joy! There was a particularly thrilling rapid section in the middle, and the boat rocked violently, causing everyone to scream. During the lull, we splashed each other with water, not caring about getting soaked. It was so relaxing! The staff seemed very reliable and constantly reminded us to be safe. By the end, I was exhausted but so happy. This is what summer fun should be!

A very exquisite small park, with pavilions, corridors, red walls, pagodas, artificial lakes, rockery, botanical gardens, rich content, and it can be seen that it is managed seriously. A small city with such an exquisite small park shows that it has some heritage. One side of the park is surrounded by the old city wall, and you can take a walk on the city wall. On the other side, it is close to the Confucian Temple of Guanghan, which is larger than the Confucian Temples in other small places and well protected. Confucius sat well inside. It closed very early and was sent out by the uncle at five o'clock. Go straight out of the back door of the park and turn right at the first intersection. There is a well-known pot cake shop. It is estimated that the meat is better to eat now. The brown sugar one is too hard to bite. If you don't turn right and go straight to the second intersection, there is a Sanxingdui theme post office. It's so annoying. I turned back ten meters away from here. The next time I saw this post office, I was sitting on a bus and whizzing past! By the way, that park may be more comfortable in summer, with large lotus flowers. If you spend most of the day in Sanxingdui, it would be a good idea to take bus No. 6 to this small park and the surrounding area for an hour or two, and then take another bus to the high-speed rail station!

There are two main attractions inside, Pang Tong Temple and Ancient Shu Road. The Ancient Shu Road has a very long history. You can see deep marks in the stones caused by wheels. There are some statues and introductions in Pang Tong Temple.

Overall it's pretty good. There is hot water for bathing and there are cubicles. The end point is the visitor center, so you don't have to take a car. The water is very cold and exciting. Most of the rivers along the way are shaded by trees, so you don't have to worry about the sun, and children can also play.
