The Yinxu Royal Tombs and Sacrificial Pits are located on the north bank of the Huan River in Wuguan Village, Anyang City, facing the Yinxu Palace and Temple Ruins in Xiaotun Village across the river, and echoing with the Huanbei Shang City to the east, together forming the world-renowned Yinxu Ruins. It stretches approximately 450 meters from east to west and about 250 meters from north to south, covering an area of nearly 200 acres. Since 1933, thirteen large tombs, over 2,000 accompanying tombs, and sacrificial pits have been discovered here, yielding a vast number of exquisitely crafted bronze ware, jade, stone, and pottery. The globally famous Simuwu Square Ding was unearthed here. Open all year round from 08:00 to 17:00.
