Qianshanyang Site, originally a late primitive society village, is over 4700 years old and belongs to the Liangzhu culture. In the 1930s, Mr. Shen Weizhi was the first to discover and publish writings on it. In 1956, thousands of stone tools were collected on the dried riverbed. In March of the same year and again in March 1958, two scientific excavations were conducted, yielding pottery items such as ding (tripod cauldrons), pots, jars, basins, and bowls, as well as textile tools like spindle whorls and net sinkers. Stone tools including knives, axes, adzes, and plows were also unearthed, along with plant seeds of rice, broad beans, melons, peaches, and peanuts, indicating a considerable level of agricultural production at the time in Huzhou. The site also yielded silk and hemp fabric fragments, which are among the earliest discovered in China, proving that Huzhou is one of the cradles of silk culture. The opening hours are subject to the actual opening status on the day.
