Beneath the streets of modern-day Chengdu, a 3,000-year-old city was discovered. Called Jinsha, it's believed to have once been the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Shu. Today, the Jinsha Site Museum preserves part of the original dig site in situ, exhibiting some of the astonishing relics that were unearthed. These include a sun disc made of almost pure gold, as well as a gold mask and crown.
