The Donghuamen historical site lies in a giant stadium at the heart of Chengdu, Sichuan. It was the place where group matches of the 2007 FIFA Women’s World Cup were held.

In 2013, relics(遗迹) dating back to the Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220) up to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) were discovered. The middle of the former field has become an excavation site (发掘现场), showing ancient city walls, streets and canals, houses and gardens, a palace for kings in the Ming Dynasty, coins and so on.

After nine years of excavation, the Donghuamen historical site first opened to a group of locals. The Chengdu Culture & Tourism Development Group invited around 20 families with small children to visit the site, still under excavation. Experts were on site to introduce the findings. “The Donghuamen site has been through 21 dynasties, with relics dating back 2,000 years,” said Shan Jixiang, the former curator of the Palace Museum. The site proves Chengdu’s city site has remained in the same place for over 3,000 years, which is not common in the world. “It’s a unique archaeological(考古的) finding,” said Shan.

An archaeological park is building at the site, the first part of which will make it public in 2023, before the Universiade to be held in Chengdu in July, 2023.​
