Guangfulin

Guangfulin is an archaeological park with ancient settlement remains scattered across multiple excavation sites. The complex features partially buried structures, exhibition spaces, and gardens that connect the different areas where artifacts were unearthed.

Systematic excavations between 1999 and 2001 uncovered layers spanning 5,000 years of human occupation. The discoveries come from different cultural periods and document how this region was inhabited and developed over millennia.

The site reflects how ancient inhabitants arranged their settlements and burial grounds across the landscape. Visitors can observe remains that reveal details about how people organized their communities and honored their dead.

The park has clearly marked pathways connecting the different excavation areas and sections. Food and refreshment options are available throughout, though most information signs are in Chinese, so visitors may want to bring a translation tool.

Eight ritual burial sites discovered in 2008 show how people honored their deceased and what objects they placed alongside them. These graves reveal uncommon details about burial customs and food practices from that distant era.
