The 3,300-year-old Yin Ruins have been confirmed as the site of the last capital of the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BC). It is one of China's oldest archaeological sites and is renowned for its large amount of oracle bone inscriptions. The Yin Ruins were added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2006.
