Tomb of Fu Hao

The burial chamber measures 5.6 meters in length, 4 meters in width, and extends 8 meters below ground in a vertical shaft configuration.

Archaeologists discovered this untouched royal tomb in 1976, identifying it as the final resting place of Fu Hao, a military leader and wife of King Wu Ding.

The tomb contained 1,928 artifacts, including bronze vessels, jade objects, stone carvings, and ivory pieces, reflecting the advanced craftsmanship of Shang Dynasty artisans.

The tomb site opens daily from 8:00 to 18:00, with admission included in the general entrance ticket to the Yinxu archaeological complex.

Three connecting bronze cooking vessels and unusual square ceremonial containers rank among the most notable bronze objects found in the burial chamber.
