[travel] chinese mysteries unearthed

Better you go to the page rather than I lift the piece. Graham Simmons writes: Some of the world's most intriguing sites have still somehow managed to escape the Lonely Planet circuit. An example is Sanxingdui, a mind-boggling museum of bronze artefacts unearthed in China's Sichuan province between 1986 and 2001. Their origin is as yet a total mystery. Even more mysterious is why Sanxingdui, just an hour by road from Chengdu (the capital of Sichuan) is not more widely known. A nice piece.
