Traveler reviews
Choon Lin Phung
★★★★★8 months agoThe site is very near Beijing Road. Is an interesting place to visit if you want a break from shopping or need a place to hide from the sun or rain. Is totally free, just need to show your passport to the security to enter. Is good to have a whisper ($30rmb)to explain the different areas but is all in Mandarin. They do have explanation written in English too.I am amazed to know how smart the ancient people (2000 yrs ago) in planning the water drainage system. Is an eye opener as I walked through the excavation.
John Nayler
★★★★★a year agoFree and interesting. Passport required. 3 floors of antiquities and there are English translations for most displayed text. There's an undercover section with excavations showing ancient paving and building footings. Clean facilities and pleasant gardens surround.
