Kingdoms at Changsha Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to Changsha museum. Well be here to visit “The Exhibition of

In 1996, during July to November, in the southeast of Wu Yi square, team up
with Ping He Tang Department. The exhumations were carried on by Changsha
relics work teams. They unearth 61 archaic wells during the
