“This is the room where Chinese writing stops being theory. The pits are still open to the sky.”
Excerpted with attribution; full note linked from the creator's channel.
Read the ground
The site is mostly foundations and pits rather than standing buildings. Take the English audio guide; without it the archaeology reads as empty ground.
Pair it
The Yinxu museum and the old city wall are close enough to combine into a half day with lunch in between.
Practical notes
- English signage is limited; the audio guide is the difference
- Anyang East station is 20 minutes away by taxi
- 08:00–18:00
