Bronze Culture-themed Park to Be Built at Ancient Tomb Site
The first park highlighting China's ancient, glorious bronze culture dating back to the Shang Dynasty (16th century B.C.-11th century B.C.) is expected to open this June in Xin'gan county of east China's Jiangxi province.

Insiders close to a related provincial archeological departmentsaid on Friday that the park with a budgeted investment of six million yuan (about US$ 722,892) will be built on a tomb site of the Shang Dynasty in Chengjia Village.

In the 13.3-hectare park, 80 duplicated bronze items will be put on display in an excavation pit of the tomb and a 1,500-square-meter exhibition hall will be set up for viewers to acquaint themselves with Chinese bronze culture.

Also erected within the park will be a host of modern bronze sculptures, which can give visitors an in-depth understanding of the bronze culture in southern China.

The tomb site first excavated in 1989 was listed among the top 100 archeological finds in China in the 20th century, as the 480 bronze wares unearthed there have totally changed archeologists' belief that no ancient bronze culture had ever existed south of the Yangtze River.
