Hangzhou City in eastern China will build a national park on a key archeological site in the next two years, according to a city government plan.

The national park, covering 9.09 square kilometers, will be built on the ruins of ancient Liangzhu City, dating back 5,000 years, in eastern China's Zhejiang Province.

The park, which is located in Yuhang District of the provincial capital of Hangzhou, will recover and preserve most of the highland where ancient people settled as well as tribal structures. Exterior walls of the ancient city, wetlands and some small altars will also be kept, according to Hanghzou's plan.

The Liangzhu park was among the first of 12 national archeological site parks published by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2010.

The Liangzhu Archeological Site is now on the tentative UNESCO World Heritage List. Construction of the park is expected to give a boost to its inscription.

In 2015, archaeologists found a large water project while excavating the neolithic remains of ancient Liangzhu. It is believed to be the world's earliest water conservation system. Endi
