The museum features many fascinating artifacts unearthed at the site along with a stunning excavation exhibit, making it one of Chengdu's must-see attractions.

  • My Visits to the Hmong in the Triangle of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan
    A Hmong Scholar’s Visit to China: the Hmong in the Triangle of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan by Kou Yang Nyob luag ntuj yoog luag txuj, nyob luag av yoog luag tsav (‘In Rome be like the Romans’--- Hmong proverb) I have made a few visits to the Hmong of the triangle of Guizhou, Sichuan and Yunnan, and will highlight below two of these visits: the visit in August 2009 to the Hmong of Qianxi (黔西),and my 2014 visit to the Hmong of Xingwen, Gong xian, Junlian, Gulin, Xuyong, Yanjin, Yiliang and Zhaotong. In early August 2009, I led a group of international scholars of Hmong studies to do a post conference visit to the Hmong/Miao in Guizhou Province, China. This visit was under the auspices and sponsorship of the Guizhou Miao Studies Association (also known as the Miao Cultural Development Association), and the guidance of its Vice-President, Professor Zhang Xiao. The group visited both Qiandongnan (Southeast Guizhou) and Qianxi (West Guizhou) Hmong/Miao of Guizou. The visit was my third trip to Qiandongnan, so it was not so special because I had previously written about and travelled to many areas within Qiandongnan. Moreover, Qiandongnan has been Guizhou’s premier cultural tourist region for decades; the Hmu represent the largest sub-group of the Miao in Qiandongnan. The language of the Hmu belongs to the Eastern branch of the Miao language. Economically, educationally, and politically, the Hmu are much better off than the Hmong and Ah Mao, who speak the Western branch of the Miao language. For example, I met with so many politicians, bureaucrats and professors of Hmu ancestry in Guiyang, but only one professor of Hmong descent.

In addition to 24 ordinary classrooms, there is a computer room, library, music classroom, natural laboratories, multimedia classroom, and 300 square meter student rehearsal and performance hall. The school also has a physical education building, the first floor of which is a standard constant temperature swimming pool for training, the second floor is a professional table tennis training center, and the third floor is a professional dancing training hall. The City Guiyang is the capital of Guizhou province of Southwest China. The city was first constructed as early as 1283 AD during the Yuan Dynasty. Until the Sino-Japanese War (1937–45), Guiyang was no more than the capital of one of China's least-developed provinces. As elsewhere in the southwest, considerable economic progress was made under the special circumstances of wartime. Guiyang has subsequently become a major provincial city and industrial base. In 1959 the rail network in Guangxi was completed, affording connection from Guizhou to Chongqing to the north, to Kunming to the west, and Changsha to the east. Geography Guiyang is located in the center of Guizhou province, situated on the east of the Yunnan–Guizhou Plateau, and on the north bank of the Nanming River, a branch of the Wu River (which eventually joins the Yangtze River).
