Zhouyuan Site, Archaeological site in Baoji, China.

The excavation site extends across 25 square kilometers near Beishan, spanning the counties of Fufeng and Qishan in Shaanxi Province.

The Zhou people established their capital at this location during the late 12th century BC, developing it into a major political center until its capture by West Rong tribes.

Excavations revealed 170,000 animal bones and tortoise shells with oracle inscriptions that detail the relationships between Zhou and Shang dynasties.

The site maintains extensive archaeological structures including palace foundations, workshops, and burial grounds that visitors can examine through organized tours.

Researchers discovered over 10,000 artifacts including bronze vessels with inscriptions about land leasing and legal matters from the Western Zhou period.
