The Golden Sun Bird, or the Sun and Immortal Birds Gold Ornament (simplified Chinese: 太阳神鸟金饰; traditional Chinese: 太陽神鳥金飾; pinyin: Tàiyáng Shénniǎo Jīnshì), is an ancient artifact, unearthed in 2001 at Jinsha archaeological site located in the city of Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China.
[2] The piece dates back to the late Sanxingdui period (around 1200–1050 BCE), and is now located in the Jinsha Museum, Chengdu.
The Golden Sun Bird motif is used as a logo to represent China's cultural heritage.
In 2011, the city of Chengdu selected the Golden Sun Bird as the design for its logo.
The sun bird was also used as the elements of the 2021 FISU World University Games in Chengdu.
