Tomb of Wang Jian, Royal burial site in Jinniu District, China
The Tomb of Wang Jian is a royal burial site in Jinniu District, Chengdu, China. The complex consists of a circular earthen mound with an underground chamber divided into three rooms, housing a stone sculpture of the ruler.
The site was built in 918 and marks the final resting place of Wang Jian, who founded the Former Shu state following the Tang Dynasty's collapse. This kingdom ruled the region for roughly three decades before being overthrown by neighboring powers.
The tomb's name honors Wang Jian, whose rule shaped the region's destiny. Visitors can observe how the site's layout and details reflect the importance placed on his memory by those who built it.
The site is easily reached by public transportation in central Chengdu and maintains regular hours for visitors. Guided tours in multiple languages are available and help explain the layout and artifacts on display.
Archaeologists uncovered numerous artifacts during 1940-1943 excavations, now displayed at the Sichuan Museum. These discoveries reveal details about daily life and craftsmanship during Wang Jian's era.
