Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City
The Liangzhu archaeological site (c. 3,300-2,300 BC), located in the Yangtze River basin on the southeastern coast of China, reveals an early regional state in China's Late Neolithic period, with a belief system based on rice cultivation. The site consists of four areas - the Yaoshan Site Area, the Gukou High Dam Area, the Plain Low Dam Area, and the Urban Site Area. The sites are outstanding examples of early urban civilization, as reflected in earthen monuments, urban planning, water conservation systems, and social hierarchies, as well as differentiated burials in the site's cemeteries.
