Banpo Neolithic Village (Banpo Yizhi)

Banpo Neolithic Village

is located six kilometers east of

Xi'an

. This excavated site of a village dates back to 4500 BC and is discovered in 1953. The village during this period was called Yangshao and 45 houses, 6 pottery kilns, 200 storage pits, 250 adult's tombs and children's burial jars, 10,000 tools and utensils as well were unearthed.

The distinct culture of these villagers was known as Yangshao culture. The most interesting aspect of this is that Yangshao culture was very artificial. There are more female tombs and graves here than male, and the female graves contain more objects and valuables than their male counterparts do.

Today, the site itself is pretty flat and uninspiring. It takes a lot of imagination to picture how this place used to be and the Disney-style

"Yangshao Village"

which has been reconstructed at the site makes this area less appealing.
