The Three Gorges area is home to over a hundred ancient Ba people's sites and tombs, which are key to unraveling the mysteries of the ancient Ba people's history. Since 2021, Chongqing has been steadily advancing a three-year action plan for the restoration of unearthed cultural relics in the Three Gorges Reservoir area. So far, more than 2,500 various artifacts have been restored.
