The Site of the Sluice of the State of Nanyue, Ancient water management site in Guangzhou, China.

The excavated wooden sluice structure reveals sophisticated engineering methods used for controlling water flow in the Nanyue Kingdom period.

Constructed during the Western Han period, this water management system served as a crucial component of the Nanyue Kingdom's infrastructure from the third century BC.

The preserved wooden mechanisms and construction techniques demonstrate the advanced technological capabilities of ancient Chinese hydraulic engineering methods.

The museum complex contains detailed exhibits about water management systems, with guided tours available in multiple languages throughout the day.

Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered original wooden components that maintained their structural integrity for over two millennia.
