  The Chengdu Jinsha Site Museum consists of the Relics Hall, Exhibition Hall, Cultural Relics Protection and Restoration Center, Garden Area and Jinsha Theater. The Relics Hall is the excavation site of the large-scale sacrificial activities in the Jinsha Site. It is the most complete and longest-lasting sacrificial relics and relics in China's Shang and Zhou dynasties. In order to protect the cultural relics, many places were not excavated but filled up. The huge space supported by 15 steel columns has protected 90% of the cultural relics in the Jinsha Site that have not been excavated by archaeologists to the maximum extent. The exhibition hall has a 4D cinema and regularly plays the 4D movie "Dream Back to Jinsha". There are gold, bronze, jade, stone, ivory, divination and other cultural relics in the exhibition hall, recreating the religious sacrifice scenes of the ancient Shu Kingdom. The fourth exhibition hall displays more than 30 pieces of the most exquisite cultural relics unearthed from the Jinsha Site, mainly the gold ornaments of the Sun Bird. In addition to the two exhibition halls of the Relics Hall and the Exhibition Hall, the garden area of the Chengdu Jinsha Site Museum is along the Modi River, with leisure and cultural landscapes such as the Ebony Forest and the Jade Road. The Ebony Forest is located in the southeast corner of the Jinsha Ruins Museum. It is a landscape composed of more than 60 ebony trees unearthed from the Jinsha Ruins and Chengdu. The Shang and Zhou Dynasty Sun Bird gold ornaments unearthed from the Jinsha Ruins are in the shape of a ring. In the middle is a hollow sun with twelve rays of light, which rotates counterclockwise. There are four birds with their heads in front and their feet in the back, which are also hollowed out. In December 2011, the Jinsha Sun Bird gold ornament pattern was determined as the core pattern of Chengdu's city image logo.
