The crystal-clear Yazi River meanders from northwest to east and the several dozen-meter-wide Mamu River winds its way from southwest to east,forming a "Mesopotamia" in southwest China.The three loess mounds on the southern bank of the Mamu River that looked like three golden stars in the southeast of Sanxing Village became an important symbol of the ruins at Sanxingdui.
The ruins at Sanxingdui consist of six groups of ruins with a total area of 12 square kilometers.More than 100,000 historical relics were unearthed here.
