What you can expect

  • Step into ancient China with this immersive experience in Anyang, home to the famous Yinxu Ruins, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. This is not a typical sightseeing tour. In addition to visiting the archaeological site, take part in a hands-on archaeology session designed to help you understand early Chinese civilisation in a more engaging way.

    Participate in a simulated excavation activity and learn about oracle bone script, one of the earliest forms of Chinese writing. Observe or take part in a guided oracle bone burning demonstration, illustrating how ancient divination practices were performed.

    After the interactive session, continue to the Yinxu Ruins for an on-site visit. With the guidance of an English-speaking guide, explore the historical background of the Shang Dynasty and see where these cultural practices originated.

    This experience combines participation and historical context, making it ideal for travellers who want more than a standard guided tour.
