Anyang Yin Ruins........

When we reached Anyang it was a bang on the head because it was like going back 10yrs in time as compared to Beijing (cosmopolitan city). Anyang is known as one of the eight ancient capital of China.....for more info sure you can google about it.....


This is the beautiful scenery we passerby on the bus.....everywhere you go it feel like infinity space in front of you.


The image of bicycles are set in the mind of most people when speak of China. I only see them when we reach Anyang. In Beijing I saw lots more of Audi


The first stop in Anyang was to Yin Ruins (Yinxu), it was the capital for late Shang in Chinese history. It was also the first capital site to be discovered. This picture above show the entrance of the Yin Ruins. beyond the gate is the burial site of Palace, temple complex and royal cemetery.


Yin Ruins covers huge area of space that was once buried ground for the Shang history. The area now is being covered back up after the archaeology discovery.


The reason for our visit was to see the Oracle bone inscription (The origin of Chinese character)More than 160,000 pieces of oracle bones with inscription are found here in Yin Ruins


This is the Yin Ruins Museum which house the oracle bones inscription and other artifact.


This is the oracle bone inscription.


Another place to check out within the Yin Ruins is the small museum that house the discovery of the Chariot Pits.


Many bronze vessel and object was discovered in the excavation. The most impressive one is the largest bronze objects. This is the Simuwu Ding also knows as the Great Quadripod.


This is my favourite picture. China have such great history but are slowly polluted by modernization. It is worth it?.


My ending picture will be the beautiful architect. It is beautiful there.
