Xi'an Banpo Museum

Banpo Museum is really a less popular attraction. The number of visitors in the museum can be counted with ten fingers. The ticket window only accepts cash. Fortunately, I brought some with me, otherwise I would not be able to enter!

The museum is built on the excavated site and displays various types of pottery, daily tools, and life scenes. Some of the patterns on the pottery are still difficult to decipher.

The sacrificial area displays real tombs. While visiting, I kept saying to myself, "Ancestors, I am so sorry to bother you!" What impressed me most was that the tombs of this period were all same-sex burials. I took photos at first, but then thought it was not a good idea, so I deleted them!

Here, I found the true identity of the human Hutou in the first episode of "If National Treasures Could Talk" - he smiled like a 6,000-year-old child: "You come from the soil, with your head slightly raised, as if looking up at the sky..."

Here, the Neolithic Yangshao culture of more than 6,000 years ago can be immersively displayed. The village has houses, fences and cellars, and they know how to make pottery. They also separate the residence, cemetery and pottery kiln according to their functions. Deep and wide trenches were dug around the village to resist wild beasts and enemies. They would grind bones into bone needles and fish hooks, and drill holes in hard and fragile pottery to repair them.

There are also some experience activities on site, such as collecting 🔥, building houses, extracting plant pigments for dyeing, and punching holes in pottery.

The tombs inside truly reflect the cultural characteristics of the Neolithic Age.

Nice prehistoric Neolithic archaeological site, it feels like visiting an archaeological site

The old museum was built in 1958, very shocking

The site is not big and you can walk around it in half an hour. The biggest attraction of this site is the tombs. Banpo has a large tomb area with many types of tombs. The bones in the tombs are clearly visible and they all look like children. It is worth a visit for friends who want to understand the culture of ancient sites.

Preserved for more than 6,000 years, the site is a great place to admire history and culture

In fact, I have been to Shaanxi Museum, the ancient city wall, and Huifang, but Banpo is still the place that shocked me the most during my trip to Xi'an. 7,000 years ago, China already had a civilization close to modern agricultural life. I feel that this is the place where Greater China civilization can best establish cultural confidence with European and American civilization.

Although it feels a bit remote and it doesn't seem to be a popular scenic spot after walking out of the subway, the ticket price is not cheap, and it really didn't disappoint me after entering. The most impressive thing is the burial display, where two male skeletons of "good friends from 7,000 years ago" were lying together.

The huge physical exhibition hall shows the true appearance of the Banpo ruins. The volunteer service is very good, and all the explanations and interactive exchanges are free. There is an uncle playing the musical instrument of the Banpo era under the stairs of the museum, which gives a feeling of time travel.

The reason for choosing this place is that there are definitely fewer people, the transportation is convenient, and there is a direct subway. The third reason is that I have never seen a site from the ancient Neolithic period, so I am quite curious. After exiting the station, you have to walk about 500 meters. The gate is very distinctive. The ticket is 65, and it seems to be 40 when purchased online. The Banpo site is now surrounded by a building area, but it has a rare simplicity and tranquility. A large house was built at the excavation site of that year to protect it. The ancient village site from more than 6,000 years ago, the residential area and the burial area are clearly visible, which is amazing. The museum is divided into two parts: the display of unearthed cultural relics and the site hall. Common pottery includes coarse sand pots and bowls, among which the small-mouthed pointed-bottom bottle is the most distinctive.

Human-faced fish-patterned jars, geometric-patterned jars, deer-patterned jars; child burials; four female burials. Museum public services and tour design in general

Now I enjoy visiting museums, it's a great day.

I booked the ticket on China-TravelNote. After entering, I looked for the tour guide. They said that I could download the "Sai Tour Guide" app, turn on Bluetooth, and then I could listen to the tour wherever I went. Sure enough, I spent 10 yuan to buy the Banpo tour guide, which has a great advantage: I can listen to it repeatedly, that is, I can listen to it for several people. I don't have to run after the tour guide, and I can visit it like a dragonfly on the water, and I can slowly calm down and feel it.

The guide here gave an orthodox and purely academic introduction, explaining the characteristics of this artifact and what customs it reflected at the time. It was easy to understand. I liked it very much. I first visited the artifact exhibition, of course, the famous basin with human face and fish pattern and pointed bottom bottle. The most amazing thing was the bone needle. The Banpo people 6,000 years ago, without advanced tools, actually drilled a 0.3mm needle eye on a needle, which is incredible. Today's experts still don't understand how they did it.

The museum where the Banpo people in history books are located is no different from the ancient ape museums in other cities, except that the Banpo people are in history books, so I am very much looking forward to it. The exhibition content is more academic, and non-professionals like me can only take a general look. Moreover, the location is relatively remote, and the price is not cheap. I think it is not necessary to come if you don’t like it very much. There is also an introduction in Shaanxi Museum.

This is a prehistoric site where you can learn about the culture of 6,000 years ago. Although it is far from the city, it can be reached by Metro Line 1 (Banpo Station), so transportation is still very convenient.

The remains of prehistoric humans already had a certain civilization, which is worth seeing. The pavilion is in the same form as the Terracotta Warriors. The best thing is that there are many simulated scenes, which are restored very well.

Among the cultural relics unearthed in Banpo, the most impressive ones are the pointed-bottom bottles and the basins in the shape of human faces and fish.

Is the fish-shaped basin with a human face a totemic belief or a realistic painting of Banpo people eating fish? This is a mystery.

Xi'an Banpo Museum is located on the east bank of the Chan River in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, and north of Banpo Village. The Banpo site was discovered in the spring of 1953 and officially opened to the public in 1958. Banpo Museum is a national first-class museum and China's first prehistoric site museum. The Banpo site reveals the rich cultural connotations of the social organization, production and life, economic form, marital status, customs, culture and art of a typical Neolithic Yangshao culture matriarchal clan settlement about 6,000 years ago. The Yangshao culture to which the Xi'an Banpo Museum belongs is an important Neolithic culture in the middle reaches of the Yellow River and is a matriarchal system. Tickets

35 yuan in peak season and 25 yuan in off-season.

Opening hours

Peak season (March to November): 08:00~18:00

Off-season (December to February): 08:00~17:30

Traffic Information

You can take Bus No. 15, 406, and 913 directly to the destination. You can also take Bus No. 11, 42, 105, 323, 241, 401, 511, and 715 or the 307 tourist bus from Tang Paradise to the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum, get off at Banpo Station, and walk 150 meters south to the destination.

There are some cultural relics from the Banpo period on display, including pointed-bottom bottles for drawing water, bone needles, basins with human face patterns, and a reconstruction of the ruins. It mainly tells the history of the matriarchal clan in ancient times, their food, clothing, housing, transportation, funerals and sacrifices, and tells the history and culture of ancient times.

There is a lot of traffic outside and surrounded by mansions on three sides. The Banpo Ruins are located in the urban area of Xi'an. Xi'an is so magical that you may find treasures even if you demolish an old house and rebuild it!

Being there in person, it seems as if you can see the Banpo people weaving and making pottery, the cattle and sheep in the pen bleating, the stove producing smoke, and a dead baby girl in a pottery jar next to the wooden house!

The scenes of ancient Chinese history, primitive society, matriarchal clan, and public ownership and communism in the history course of the first grade of junior high school are only limited to words and imagination. Banpo Ruins is a real-life version of ancient Chinese history, which is worth seeing!

This place was not originally in our plan. After all, we had not done any research and knew nothing about Xi'an. The driver suggested that we go and have a look, and enthusiastically provided us with tickets (of course, we had to pay for the tickets separately). There were not many people in the morning, and we happened to catch up with the museum's guide. With the guide, we learned in detail about the Banpo Yangshao culture and the remains of the primitive human group.

The remains of primitive civilization mainly allow us to understand how the Banpo people, as a branch of a matriarchal clan, built houses, held sacrifices, defended themselves, and lived together here.

A lot of pottery was unearthed here, and the patterns and even words on the pottery have not been deciphered yet.

However, we can still see their mathematical enlightenment, as the daily necessities are decorated with very logical geometric patterns, and the facial features are also drawn using geometric shapes.

The entire Banpo Ruins Museum is not large and it only takes about an hour to complete if you follow the guide and walk through it carefully.

Tips:

Transportation: On the way to the Terracotta Warriors, it is not far from the city of Xi'an. There should be buses. If you charter a car, you can go there on the way.

Tickets: The face value is 65 yuan per ticket, but there are always discounted tickets online, about 45 yuan per ticket. Our tickets were provided by the chartered driver, and we paid according to the face value.

Guide: The museum has free guides for guides. Just ask the ticket office when you enter the museum.

We first visited the Banpo Ruins Museum

There is a mobile phone voice guide at the entrance

My friend and I bought one for 10 yuan.

I think I can buy it and listen to it.

There is a subway station nearby, and transportation is convenient.

An audio guide is available but it is difficult to sort out the sequence.

In addition to the museum's exhibits, there are also ruins areas, small gardens, and peony gardens. It's worth a look, but there's not much content and it doesn't take too much time.

It seems that the interactive activities inside have been closed due to poor management.

A short holographic imaging video will be played in the exhibition hall, mainly telling how the Banpo people turned stones into stone tools.

The basin with human face and fish pattern is the most commonly used daily necessities by Banpo people. It is speculated that Banpo people like to combine fish and human face to pray for many children and good fortune. Various human face basins (bees covering their faces), too specific.

The nail-marked pottery jars, simple pottery, became beautifully decorated after the Banpo people used their nails to stamp marks on them. But, didn’t people at that time have trypophobia? !

A pointed-bottom bottle is a utensil for fetching water. The ears on both sides of the bottle are used to tie a rope. There are physical principles behind the usage of this bottle. Let your friends guess it by themselves!

Clam shell ornaments. After the clam meat is eaten, the clam shells are pierced and strung into ornaments, which became decorations for the Banpo people to beautify themselves.

Ivory ornaments, animal tusks were the most fashionable ornaments at that time. The ancients believed that they could gain the power of wild animals.

It's a real ruins, but now it's all turned into mud. Compared with the Terracotta Warriors, this one looks much more boring. At least the Terracotta Warriors have thousands of faces and statues!

A group of urn coffins. It is said that when children died, their parents would put them in these urn coffins.

Single person burial with supine body and straight limbs. There are many burial styles for Banpo people, but this is the most common one. The deceased lies in a sleeping position in the tomb, and is often buried with 5-6 pottery. No coffins are found.

Secondary burial is the reburial of the remains of a deceased person some time after death. Looking at archaeological data and combining it with ethnological research, it can be seen that this type of burial usually indicates special attention paid to the deceased.

In addition to these burial styles, there are also brother burials, sister burials, etc. The burial styles of the matriarchal clans are varied. I really admire their imagination at that time.

There is so much history and stories here.

The first time I learned about the Banpo Site Museum was in the history book in middle school. The "Human Face Fish Plate" as a representative artifact of the Yangshao culture has long been a national treasure and famous all over the world. This time I came to Xi'an just for it. In addition to some cultural relics of the Banpo Site, there are also some excavation sites and tombs of the site, which let us understand the life of our ancestors at that time. Being in it is like returning to the primitive society tribe, to experience the source of our culture.

The Banpo Site in Xi'an, also known as the Banpo Site Museum, is located in Banpo Village, about six kilometers east of Xi'an City. It is the largest and best-preserved matriarchal village site in the Yellow River Basin, with a history of 6,000 years.

This spot is a bit far away. There are few people in the off-season and no explanation is provided. Those who are interested can come and have a look. Look carefully at the four characters written by Guo Moruo. The character "址" is written as "趾". There are two theories. One is that he wrote it wrong, and the other is that this implies that mankind has moved step by step from ancient times to modern times.

The first site museum in China, but the audience is small and there are not many tourists. The ticket is 60 yuan, and the online price is only 40 yuan, speechless

I came to Xi'an in early July and went to the Banpo Ruins in the afternoon. It was very convenient to take the subway. Let me start from the beginning to talk about my overall experience. First of all, the ticket inspector (the one at the door) was very impatient. I walked over and started talking a lot before I opened my mouth. In fact, I can understand that too many people may feel impatient when asking questions, but the key is that there were definitely no more than ten people visiting the museum that afternoon, so I suggest that for a good mood, you must not ask the ticket inspector, but the ticket aunt is still a good person, a very kind aunt. I bought a student ticket at half price of 32.5, cash is required, and I don’t understand those online ticket purchases and ticket collection. The ticket office is on the left side of the gate, and the ticket entrance is on the right. But my overall experience after entering the museum is still good. There are very few people in the museum. It is still very quiet except for the big sun in the afternoon. I suggest downloading a Sai Tour Guide, which can be used anywhere. It only costs ten yuan to download a tour guide voice package (ps: sharing it will reduce ten yuan! It originally cost 20 yuan!) Most of the exhibits can be explained. This way, the whole process will be very rewarding! Walking slowly in the museum, listening to the explanation while looking at the exhibits carefully, and experiencing the wisdom of the ancestors is really a good experience. I think what impressed me most in the museum is that some high-tech has been introduced to better present history in front of us, such as the 3D projection in the first exhibition hall. At the end of that exhibition hall, it was very interesting at the time. Because there were few people, I was the only one left when I walked there. Then I heard some birds singing, which was quite regular, and because of the silence, this sound was particularly obvious. I was a little scared at the time, and then I found that there was a 3D projection of Banpo people on a polished stone in the corner. They walked around there, polished stone tools, discussed with each other, and then there would be talking sounds. I realized that the sounds were all coming from here. It was really a false alarm. Then we walked into the exhibition hall of Soul and Flesh on Pottery. There was an induction table in the middle and a projection on the wall. I observed it for a long time but didn't understand it. Later, an uncle (the manager of the museum, he was super nice, chatted with me and reminded me that the museum closed at 6 o'clock) swept the table to block it, and then a video about the ancient civilization sites of China from ancient times to the present began to play on the wall. It was a very interesting little design. After that, I visited the exhibition hall of Banpo Ruins. The most impressive thing was the tombs excavated there and the various burial methods (single supine burial, prone burial, joint burial, ash pit burial...). Looking at these bones, I felt like I was there, and I felt that those things really happened where you are standing now. There was an interesting tomb of a little girl. It was the only tomb found there with wooden boards for burial. The 3-4-year-old child used the specifications of an adult tomb, and there were as many as 79 burial objects! There are many speculations about the girl’s identity, but none of them are certain. The Banpo site contains far more unsolved mysteries than just this one. The wisdom of our ancient ancestors is truly worthy of admiration!

It is in the east of Xi'an city, and there are many buses around, which is very convenient.

The museum is free for seniors, 32.5 yuan for students and 65 yuan for adults.

There is an exhibition hall of Zhangzhou Maritime Silk Road and an exhibition of Hani costumes.

The pit at the Banpo site is quite large, and you can go there to learn about the matriarchal society there, after all, it was 6,000 years ago.

The Banpo ruins are also very large and you can take your time to explore. What I think is special is the urn coffin and the tomb of the little girl. There are also secondary burials in the exhibition hall and the history of the evolution of the houses of the Banpo people.

It is far away from Xi'an City, and only bones and earth pits are left. It is amazing that our ancestors 3,000 years ago were already so powerful.

Deeply influenced by history textbooks, we are no strangers to the Banpo Ruins. Coming here, we can not only review the knowledge in textbooks, but also experience the life scenes of our ancestors thousands of years ago up close and personal. The most representative utensil of the Banpo Ruins is the pointed-bottom bottle.

I signed up for a one-day tour with Northwest International Travel to visit Huaqing Palace and Terracotta Warriors. The ticket for an additional attraction was 45 yuan. Then they talked about Banpo culture, houses, funerals, etc.

Banpo Ruins is an ancient site from the Neolithic era, belonging to the Yangshao culture distributed in the middle reaches of the Yellow River. The site was discovered in the 1950s, and after several excavations by archaeologists, large-scale houses, tombs, pottery and other relics were discovered one after another. The main building of the Banpo Ruins Museum is located on a high platform. After entering, the entire site can be seen. The remains of the crypts, houses, trenches, strata and other relics are clearly visible. Later, the burial customs, utensils and other cultural relics of the ancestors are displayed. The museum is highly professional, and if you are interested in the history of primitive society or the Stone Age, you must visit it.

Because of a passage in the history textbook, I was curious and went to the Banpo Ruins Museum in Xi'an.

Banpo Ruins is a place that talks about primitive culture. Although it is not very big and not very famous, in terms of age, it is much younger than the Qin Dynasty.

The Banpo site is about 6,000 years old and shows the scenes of ancient human habitation and life. The unearthed cultural relics on display are extremely exquisite, and the various pottery and tools are amazing!

I went there a few years ago. The transportation is convenient. The view is also OK. The burial customs of the ancestors at that time are very interesting. If you are interested, you can go and have a look!

An edification of history, returning to the prehistoric way of life, and marveling at the evolution of mankind and the progress of civilization.

The Banpo ruins are very large. The entire Banpo site was built into a ruins museum. The prehistoric civilization is also great. My sister always thinks they are aliens. There are abstract pictures and text, similar to English. There are few people in Banpo. The area around Banpo is relatively desolate and not very prosperous, but it can be predicted that it will be prosperous one day.

This museum is not crowded, and the price is expensive! It seems to be 60 yuan per person. I bought the Xi'an Tourism Annual Pass, which is free! There is an interesting fire-making method in it!

It's really nice to listen to the explanation and watch it at the same time.

It is definitely worth a visit for people who like history! It feels special. It would be best if there is an explanation. After all, it looks like a big pit inside a small pit. It would be more interesting if there is an explanation. But for people like us who like this kind of atmosphere, even without the explanation, we still feel very good. It is worth a visit like Shaanxi Museum, and the ticket is not expensive.

Xi'an Banpo Museum, a national first-class museum, is China's first prehistoric site museum and one of the "50 most worthwhile places for foreigners to visit in China". It is directly accessible by Xi'an Metro Line 1.

A museum you'll never visit again after you've been there once... But as long as it's a serious museum, it's good to visit...

There are some Banpo ruins inside, which is suitable for bringing children to see

Go and see the piles of dirt. The breakfasts in the surrounding breakfast shops are pretty good.

After leaving Daming Palace Ruins Park, return to Taihua Road Station and take bus 913 to Banpo Museum. At a restaurant next to Banpo Museum, eat Hulutou Pao Mo. 18 yuan per bowl.

Attraction level: AAAA

Ticket price: Peak season (March to November): 65.00 yuan; Off-season (December to February): 45.00 yuan; Seniors over 65 years old are free of charge.

Opening hours: Peak season (March to November): 08:00~18:00 Off-season (December to February): 08:00~17:30.

This place shows the living conditions of humans in the Neolithic Age, you can go and learn about it.

Included in the annual ticket. It is still worth a visit. Tickets are 65 yuan. There are three exhibition halls, a site protection area, a Banpo Ancient Village, and a "Prehistoric Factory, i.e., a Youth Prehistoric Culture Experience Hall", but it is not open. The three exhibition halls include a basic exhibition hall and two auxiliary exhibition halls. The basic exhibition hall displays some cultural relics unearthed from the Banpo site. The two auxiliary exhibition halls are the Xinhe Prehistoric Culture Exhibition in Liaoning, which has no cultural relics but only pictures, and the 24 Solar Terms Exhibition, which was exhibited according to the solar terms from 2015 to 2016. The site protection area, i.e., the Banpo site, is the site of the ancient village, which displays the village layout, house construction, sacrifice, burial, etc. of the Banpo people. It is quite complete and quite large. There is actually a pottery making area behind the site, which is particularly small. The Banpo Ancient Village is still quite interesting, with some restored ancient houses and a garden. Maybe this season is off-season, it is a bit dilapidated and very quiet, but I like it very much. There are so many birds, and my ears are filled with the chirping of birds. I also encountered a rabbit. 3 to 4 hours is enough for the whole visit.

In ancient times, the mortality rate of children was extremely high, and people could only live to the age of 30 or 40. In the matriarchal society, people only knew their mothers but not their fathers! There are groups of urn coffins everywhere in the ruins!

The equipment is very advanced, the history is very complete, and everyone understands it. It's very good.

An important symbol of the matriarchal clan community in history textbooks. The ticket price is 65 yuan, and there are group tickets online for 45 yuan. You can only go there after 11 o'clock. There are very few tourists. It is actually a place worth seeing. I have always wanted to see the places I learned in history books.

If you like history and archaeology, this place is worth a visit~

There is not much to see in the Banpo settlement ruins, but it can be considered a witness to history.

Xi'an Banpo Museum, a national first-class museum, is the first prehistoric site museum in China. Xi'an Banpo Museum is located on the east bank of the Chan River in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an and north of Banpo Village. You can take buses 15, 406, or 913 from the Zhonglou City area and get off at the Banpo Site Museum.



I personally recommend that travelers spend half a day visiting. The opening hours are 08:00-18:00, and the ticket price is 65 yuan/person, and students with a student card can pay half the price. The museum shows the prosperity of the matriarchal society more than 6,000 years ago (New Era - Yangshao Culture) through the display of ruins, unearthed cultural relics and auxiliary displays.



The Banpo site is divided into three parts: the residential area, the pottery making area and the burial area, surrounded by defensive trenches. There are volunteers to explain the site, and reservations can be made at the entrance. (This is one of the characteristics of the Banpo Museum. The guides are volunteer friends.) The unearthed cultural relics exhibition hall mainly displays the production tools, daily necessities and artworks used by the ancestors, including the treasure of the town, the human face and fish pattern basin, which has a particularly high archaeological research value. If you are particularly interested in this period, you can better understand that period of history and culture.

In the museum on the real site, you can appreciate the life of the ancients thousands of years ago. The children were very happy to see it. It is a very good attraction and worth recommending.

I stole a little time to relax, so I went to the Banpo Museum and did some research on how humans were buried thousands of years ago. I met a group of foreigners who were visiting with a cute baby. Oh, I wonder if the baby understood what I saw?

It is the first prehistoric site museum in China. Here everything returns to the origin of human beings, making people wonder who they are, where they come from, and what they want to do.

It seems like this place is already a suburb, with very few tourists. The ticket price is 32.5 (half price). It is the first prehistoric museum in my country and the birthplace of Yangshao culture. After entering, it is a museum that exhibits some excavated items. The most famous one is the human face net-patterned basin.

I signed up for a one-day tour with a local guide, and there was a guide explaining the place, so it was quite interesting. If I went there by myself, I wouldn't be able to understand it.

I'm not really interested in this place, but since I'm here, I still have to take a good look at it.

It's a very small place, it will be over in a moment, you can take a look

This place is very small and you can finish the tour in half an hour. You can just swipe your annual pass at the door to enter, no need to go to the ticket office to exchange tickets, very convenient, but annual pass users must wait until after 11 am to enter~!

The gate decoration of the Banpo Ruins in Xi'an is in the style of a primitive village. The stone sculpture of a Banpo girl drawing water from the fish pond and the four powerful and beautiful characters "Banpo Ruins" written by Mr. Guo Moruo on the front of the hall of the ruins all add a kind of interest to the cultural atmosphere of the Banpo Museum, making people feel a real sense of returning to nature, history and art. This scene often makes many visitors linger.

The Banpo site is divided into three areas: residence, pottery making, and burial. The residence is the main part of the village. The Banpo people belonged to the Neolithic Age and used mainly wooden and stone tools. Women were the main productive force among the Banpo people. They were responsible for pottery making, textiles, and livestock breeding, while men were mostly engaged in fishing and hunting. The museum currently has three exhibition rooms and one site hall. Here, you can see the simplicity of human childhood and find the hard work of Chinese ancestors.

Banpo Matriarchal Village is an organic extension of the Banpo Museum. Based on the active protection of the site, it moves the precious heritage from underground to the ground based on archaeological excavation data, and reproduces the human matriarchal society in three dimensions. It enriches the connotation of the museum, promotes the long history of Chinese culture, and brings together the prehistoric art, customs, and rural life of the Yellow River Basin. It has played the advantages of cultural relics, integrating scientific research, archaeology, teaching, tourism, and entertainment, and is praised by Chinese and foreign tourists as "the first village in China."

It should be a must-visit place when you come to Xi'an.

It feels average, and feels like it has been repaired. There are so many people that I can't hear what the commentator is saying!

The Banpo Museum shows the ruins of the Banpo people's life. You can learn about the history, living environment, living utensils, ancient pottery, etc. of the Banpo people who lived 6,000 years ago. If you are interested in history, it is worth a visit. The visit time is about 1 hour.

Banpo is located on the east bank of the Chan River in Baqiao District, east of Xi'an, at the intersection of Changle East Road and East Third Ring Road. It is a primitive matriarchal village site in the Yellow River Basin and the Yangshao culture of the Neolithic Age. Some of the scenic spots look like Terracotta Warriors and Horses, which were also excavated in the pit, but the area is not comparable to that of the Terracotta Warriors and Horses. The scenic area is not large and is divided into several parts, most of which are excavated ruins. There are residential areas for people at that time, as well as burial areas. Unlike the Terracotta Warriors and Horses, only some daily necessities and bones were excavated here. One to two hours is enough for the visit.

In fact, there are many exhibits in the Banpo Museum. As a museum built on the excavation site, it is relatively deserted and sparse.

It is far away, but the transportation is very convenient. The subway goes directly here, recreating the production and living style of the matriarchal society 6,000 years ago. If you are interested, you can go and have a look. If you take a taxi from the train station, it will cost about 20 yuan. The most convenient transportation is Metro Line 1, get on at Wulukou Station, get off at Banpo Station, and walk about 500 meters to the destination. Of course, there are also buses, but the Banpo Ruins are on the East Third Ring Road, so I am not sure how long it will take.

There are not many people in this scenic spot, probably because it is relatively remote

The site is well preserved and there are few tourists. It is worth a visit if you are interested in paleoanthropology.

It's a place to learn new things, it's worth going~~ It's a distance from the city but not too far

I am amazed by the power of wisdom, impressed by the imagination of the ancients, in awe of human creativity, and moved by their thinking about art.

Many people visit museums in silence. Apart from the voices of the tour groups, everyone is in almost the same state and it is not noisy at all.

The most important thing is the Banpo Ruins. There are few people in the off-season, so you can visit the earth cave in detail, watch the video and text introduction, and walk and talk slowly. Explore the daily life, house construction, defense measures and burial methods of people 6,000 years ago, and sincerely admire the wisdom of our ancestors. There is a prehistoric cultural base for teenagers in the backyard, but it is a pity that it is not open today due to some reasons, so I can't experience it in person by drilling wood to make fire. But I also tied ropes, pulled mills, fed rabbits by the pastoral pond, shuttled through antique mud houses, and chatted with the fishing grandfather, which was another kind of happiness. Some people say that the Banpo Ruins are boring, but we think it is worth the trip. Such ruins and relics, of course, are just a pile of loess, a utensil, and a grain of millet. Only by feeling them with your heart can you know the glory of prehistoric civilization.

The museum's simple wooden gate and the stone sculpture of a Banpo girl drawing water in the pond add a touch of interest to the cultural atmosphere of the Banpo Museum, giving people a genuine sense of returning to nature, history and art.
