Sanxingdui Site

After visiting the Chengdu Giant Panda Base, I took a side trip to the Sanxingdui Museum. Sanxingdui is located in Guanghan City, but it's not far from Chengdu; it's just over forty minutes' drive from the Panda Base. Sanxingdui is the first museum I visited that charges an admission fee. Upon arriving at the entrance, many people were offering tour guide services, but it was unclear if they were official. Inside the museum, there were audio guides for rent. I rented one, but it didn't seem particularly useful. The treasures of the museum are the divine tree and the human figures. If you're quick, two to three hours is enough. If you want to take your time, you can plan for half a day.
