Journey Back 5,000 Years: Discovering Liangzhu Ancient City

#chinatravel Step into the cradle of early Chinese civilization at the Liangzhu Ancient City Archaeological Site, located in Yuhang District, Hangzhou. This remarkable Neolithic site, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2019, offers a rare glimpse into the origins of ancient urban society and state-level civilization in China over 5,000 years ago. Begin your visit at the Liangzhu Museum, where fascinating artifacts and well-curated exhibits set the stage for exploring the vast archaeological park. Spanning more than 2.9 million square meters, the site can be tiring to walk—so it’s highly recommended to buy a scenic shuttle ticket (just 20 yuan). Choose Line 1 for a quick highlights tour, or Line 2 if you want to visit the peaceful Deer Garden (or take Line 1 and get off at Lucheng Gate). With a mix of immersive history and open landscapes, this trip is perfect for anyone eager to understand China’s ancient roots in a meaningful and memorable way. #travel #trip #china #staycation #thingstodo #myitinerary
