Yin Dynasty Ruins, Henan, China
4.5 (48 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Anyang Architectural Buildings
Amazing Place to Visit
My visit to Yin Xu was wonderful. Although the people who work there don't speak much English, the English signage around the grounds and in the various museums/exhibits are mostly excellent. It was very quiet when I was there (mid morning), with only a few local tourists walking around. The grounds are also lovely, tranquil and there are also many photo opportunities. I don't remember much in the way of food and drink, so maybe take a snack and a bottleof water. Yin Xu is only a 10 minute cab ride from the centre of town and only cost approx $5AUD. You'll probably need approx 2 hours to see the entire place, however anyone interested in Chinese history and language could easily spend longer there. Definitely recommended if you find yourself in Anyang.....

Dont miss the tomb of Fu Hao
But a lot of the artefacts (except the chariots) are replica, they are in other Museums or in research, or they are again under ground and above ground there are reproductions due to Fotos from the excavations.

Real or not worth a visit.
70 rmb for multiple sites is a good price. I'm still not 100% sure it's real because they are not preserved, as well as some archaeological sites. I saw people throw lollipop sticks and coins in the tombs... However, that might be just culture? Worth a visit and there is a free shuttle bus to the next site. Real or not (it does say there are discussions about the genuiness of the site, which is good) there are good English translations and lots to think about. Worth a visit.
