Archaeologists have discovered the remains of an ancient city in eastern Zhejiang Province. The find is expected to shed more light on the long history of Chinese civilization.

The discovery was made near Mojiao Mountain between Liangzhu and Pingyao townships in Hangzhou. The ancient city appears to cover an area of about three square kilometers. There are still pieces of walls as high as four meters at the site.

Experts say the ancient city can be dated prior to the late period of the Liangzhu culture, which is about 4 thousand to 5 thousand years ago.
