Places to explore in Anyang
Red Flag Canal–Taihang Grand Canyon Tourist Area
红旗渠—太行大峡谷旅游区
This tourist area combines two different experiences: the Red Flag Canal, focusing on the artificial water-diversion project, Youth Cave and commemorative displays; and Linzhou’s Taihang Grand Canyon, focusing on gorges, mountain trails and villages. They are not a continuous route behind one entrance, so plan separate days by area. Current photographs mainly cover the Red Flag Canal route near Youth Cave; the Taihang Grand Canyon gallery still needs additions.
Yinxu
殷墟
Yinxu is the site of a late Shang capital. Oracle-bone inscriptions, palace and ancestral-temple remains, and chariot-and-horse pits make Shang history easier to understand. Distinguish the archaeological site, royal tomb area and Yinxu Museum and plan around your reserved entrance. Interpretation helps connect exhibits and remains. The current reference gallery comes from the site and older display spaces, not the new museum’s interior exhibitions.
