Archeological excavations have identified that Anyang in northern Henan was the site of Yin, the capital of the Shang Dynasty. In the late 19th century, peasants unearthed bones etched with ancient Chinese symbols, identified as “oracle bones” or bones used for divination. Further discoveries of bronzes, jade, and royal tombs, helped form a picture of the long forgotten city of Yin. The Museum of Yin Ruins, in the north of city, exhibits fragments of oracle bones, pottery, and bronze vessels, as well as six chariots, drawn by skeletal horses. To the east is the ostentatious Tomb of Yuan Shikai, a warlord who helped force the Qing abdication in return for the presidency, but later tried to have himself enthroned as emperor. The bustling Old City, centered around the Bell Tower south of Jiefang Lu, is also worth exploring. To the southwest, stands the octagonal, multi-eaves Wenfeng Pagoda, originally built in the 10th century and restored during the Ming era.
