Shang City walls and the Shangdu Museum
Seven kilometres of rammed earth from about 1600 BC, still standing in the middle of the city, with a museum built against them.
The wall is the oldest thing in Zhengzhou and the least advertised: a grassy earth rampart twenty metres wide at the base, with people walking dogs on top and apartment blocks behind. The Shangdu museum at the south-east corner explains what was found inside — bronze foundries, bone workshops, the ding cauldrons — and is free with ID. Walk the eastern stretch at dusk.
