Muyi Site (Juding Kingdom)
牡宜遗址(句町古国遗址)
An important archaeological site of the ancient Juding Kingdom of the Western Han period, where bronze drums, gold belt buckles, and painted bronze pots were unearthed. It is a key location for studying the Juding Kingdom.
Juding was an ancient kingdom founded during the Western Han period in the area of present-day Guangnan, and it once received investiture from the Han court. The Muyi Site lies in and around Muyi Village, Heizhiguo Township, Guangnan County. Archaeological excavations have uncovered Han-dynasty tombs and artifacts including bronze drums, painted bronze pots, and gold belt buckles inlaid with gemstones. It is believed to be linked to the Juding royal family and is the core site for studying Juding history. The site itself consists mainly of farmland and protective markers, with almost no above-ground structures to see. The excavated artifacts are displayed at the Guangnan Ethnological Museum in the county seat. It suits visitors interested in archaeology or those driving through the area; general visitors are advised to see the museum first.
