New archaeology park
Print Edition
THE Liangzhu National Archeology Park will open to the public in 2018, according to a five-year plan to develop the city’s parks.
The massive site will present relics and artifacts from the Neolithic Liangzhu Culture, including sacrificial altars dated to 4,000 BC.
Visitors will find a replica village modeled after excavated ruins, a Liangzhu Culture Center designed by Japanese architect Tadao Ando, and a Liangzhu Culture Museum designed by British architect David Chipperfield.
The Liangzhu Culture flourished in the Yangtze River Delta area around 5,000 years ago and reached a high level of civilization marked by jade carving, silk making, lacquer ware production, and a sophisticated irrigation and flood diversion system.
The water system consisted of 11 dikes built with a mixture of straw, bamboo and mud between 4,700 years and 5,100 years ago, according to Carbon-14 dating. It is the oldest flood control system ever found in China. The dikes formed three reservoirs, with one about four times larger than the West Lake.
Between 2016 and 2020, Hangzhou will open 15 new museums, including the Southern Song Museum, Lin’an National Heritage Park and Fuyang Paper Mill Museum.
