On the eastern bank of the Yellow River in southwestern Shanxi, Yuncheng — known in ancient times as Hedong — is home to a rich archaeological heritage. From the Neolithic Yangshao culture to the ritual bronzes of the Western and Eastern Zhou dynasties (c.11th century-256 BC), its cultural relics offer fascinating clues to the rise and evolution of Chinese civilization.
Come to Beijing and visit the National Museum of China's exhibition East of the Great River: Yuncheng and the Rise of Chinese Civilization, featuring more than 200 artifacts that bring the city's remarkable history to life.
