What is special about Archaeological Ruins of Liangzhu City?

Located in the Yangtze River Basin on the south-eastern coast of China, the archaeological ruins of Liangzhu, dating back to 3,300-2,300 BCE, reveal an early regional state with a unified belief system based on rice cultivation in Late Neolithic China.

The World Heritage Site comprises four areas – the Area of Yaoshan Site, the Area of High-dam at the Mouth of the Valley, the Area of Low-dam on the Plain and the Area of City Site – which are an example of early urban civilisation.
