Liangzhu city, the relic park of Yaoshan site featuring tombs and a belief system, together with the recently opened relic park of Laohuling site focusing on the dams, offer a comprehensive view of the once glorious civilization to visitors.

According to Yao, the number of visitors to the Liangzhu site reached more than 5 million after 2020, despite the pandemic. It's popular among those who want to discover and learn about the origins of China's civilization.

"The general story of Liangzhu culture is depicted by decades of archaeological work. We will focus on more detailed programs to unveil a vivid civilization," says Wang, the veteran archaeologist who has worked at the site for more than two decades.
