Songjiang praised, awarded by State Council

The district is known as the cultural root of Shanghai, as is home to many of Shanghai’s Neolithic cultural relics, including Majiabang culture, Songze culture, Liangzhu culture and Guangfulin relics.

The site of Guangfulin relics which was said to date back over 5,000 years ago, is of considerable importance for Shanghai and is said to be a new landmark added to Shanghai historic heritage.

The three underwater buildings in the folk culture exhibition zone in Guangfulin Relics Park, seems mysterious and splendid especially against the sky of azure blue. Guangfulin Relics Park is a project built on the important Guangfulin Historical Site which extends its way around four kilometers away from the foot of Sheshan Mountain, Songjiang district, Shanghai.
