Banpo Museum: Banpo Site was discovered in 1953 and the museum was established and opened to the public in 1958. About ten thousand pieces of cultural relics including the national treasure “the basin with the pattern of human face and fish”; tools for production and articles for daily use, as well as painted pottery and sculptures and various ornaments were unearthed at Banpo Site. These archaeological data reflect the production life and the form of social organization of primitive people comprehensively. It is a typical example of the prehistoric society in prosperity in the middle reaches of Yellow River.  Xi'an Banpo Museum is the first on the site museum of prehistoric settlement in China.
