Xi’an Banpo Museum

Xi’an Banpo Museum is a prehistoric settlement site. It reveals the living environment, architectural forms, places of worship, production techniques, and burial customs of a typical matrilineal clan settlement of the Yangshao culture of the Neolithic period, more than 6,000 years ago. A large amount of living, working, religious sites, production tools, living tools, decorations, and other relics excavated here show the developed prehistoric civilization of the Yellow River basin and the living condition of the matrilineal clan society.

The museum is divided into residential areas, pottery-making areas and burial areas. The archaeological value of this area is higher than that of a normal tour. The site hall is the focus of the tour, and it creates a sense of time travel. The hall shows part of the settlement site and a pottery kiln. You can use the touch screen to learn the story of what happened thousands of years ago. The exhibition hall uses technological methods such as electronic virtual and phantom imaging to reproduce the splendid culture created by the ancient people of Hanpo in a dynamic and graphic way. The half-view painting exhibition hall adopts a combination of virtual and realistic methods to realistically simulate the lightning and thunder, sun, moon and stars above the rivers and fields, vividly recreating the life and labor state.
