神臂城, National heritage site in Sichuan, China

Shenbi City is an archaeological site in Sichuan that preserves the remains of an ancient military fortress. Excavations have uncovered walls, gates, and other structures that show how the settlement was built and what construction methods people used at that time.

This site served as a military stronghold in ancient times, strategically positioned to control passages and border regions. Over centuries it was abandoned and remained buried, until archaeologists uncovered it in more recent times.

The artifacts found here tell stories about how people lived and worked in this place long ago. The objects reveal details about their daily routines and the skills they used to survive and build their community.

The site is accessible by regional transportation options and offers guided tours on location. Wear sturdy shoes since the ground is uneven and you will be walking among exposed structures and excavated areas.

The construction methods used here differed noticeably from other military installations of the same period, showing local innovation. These particular building techniques made the structures more resilient to the environmental conditions of the region.
