Huanbei, Bronze Age archaeological site in Anyang, China.

The Huanbei settlement spans 510 hectares with four rammed earth walls enclosing a substantial area beneath the modern surface of Anyang.

Established around 1350 BCE during the Middle Shang period, the city operated for approximately 50 years before its destruction by fire.

The palace-temple complex within Huanbei extends across 41 hectares, revealing the organized urban planning methods of early Chinese civilization.

Archaeological teams from Chinese and international institutions conduct excavations at the site, with portions extending under the Anyang airport.

The settlement predates the nearby Yinxu site, which later became the source of the earliest Chinese written records through oracle bone inscriptions.

Inception: 1350 BCE

GPS coordinates: 36.13000,114.34000
