Covering an area of 14.34 square kilometers, the city is composed of three sections, including Liangzhu ancient city, Yaoshan ruins, and a water conservancy system site.
Liangzhu culture (3400-2250 BC) dates back to the Neolithic age and was discovered 80 years ago by Chinese archaeologists in the town of Liangzhu, Hangzhou.
The primitive culture played a vital role in shaping ancient Chinese civilization. More than 500 sites have been excavated to date, spanning East China's Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, and Shanghai.
