Located to the east of the Xi'an city center, the Banpo Museum, which first opened its doors in 1958, resides on a former excavation site.

Dating back roughly 6,000 years to the Neolithic Yangshao culture, Banpo is now home to an exhibition hall featuring production tools including axes, chisels, sickles and stone and pottery knives.

There is also a second hall that focuses daily Banpo life, featuring the huts, kilns and tombs of the residents.
