Anyang Yinxu Archaeological and Cultural Tourism Town is a supporting service project of the Yinxu National Archaeological Site Park. It is located in the production area of the former Yubei Spinning Mill in Yindu District, only 400 meters away from the new Yinxu Museum.
The predecessor of this project was Guangyi Cotton Mill, which was initiated by Sun Jianai, who was once the minister of the Qing government. Ma Jisen, the son of Ma Piyao, the governor of Guangdong, Zheng Zigu, the prefect, and Xu Fushou, the owner of Shanghai Huixing Machinery Factory, raised 2 million silver dollars. Construction began here in 1901 and was completed and put into production in 1903. It went through the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the invasion of the Japanese invaders, the dark rule of the Kuomintang, the warlords' melee and the founding of New China, until it was officially declared bankrupt in 2014. This not only wrote a history of corporate development, but also declared to us a spirit of hard work and self-reliance in the spinning mill.
The Anyang Yinxu Archaeological Science Experience Hall consists of 11 sections, including a summary of major archaeological achievements over the past century, a century of archaeological displays, historical fusion check-in interactions, immersive scenes of historical city walls, immersive scene experiences of archaeological expeditions, archaeological scenes of the ancient city of Loulan in the desert, pit excavation scenes, ancient building scenes of Foguang Temple, ocean scene experiences at Pier No. 1 in the South China Sea, relics of lost cultural relics overseas, and a 5D dome flight theater. Visitors can experience and learn about archaeology through different archaeological themes in an interesting and interactive immersive way.
The Old Cotton Mill Story Memorial Hall is a multi-theme exhibition hall integrating the history of China's modern textile industry, the history of Anyang Yubei Cotton Textile Factory and the history of the Republic's struggle. Through indoor miniature landscapes, scene restoration and other technologies, the production scenes and living environment of the spinning mill workshops of the past are reproduced. Come and experience the golden years of 120 years, the ups and downs of 120 years...
