Zhoukoudian Site
The Zhoukoudian Site Museum is located at the foot of Dragon Bone Hill in Zhoukoudian, Fangshan District, southwest of Beijing. It is an ancient human site museum and was built in 1953. In 1929, Chinese paleoanthropologist Fei Wenzhong discovered the first complete skull fossil of "Peking Man" in Dragon Bone Hill, which shocked the world. It is a world cultural heritage, a national AAAA-level scenic spot, a national key cultural relic protection unit, and one of the 100 national patriotism education demonstration bases. It is about 48 kilometers away from downtown Beijing. It is a world-famous archaeological site of ancient humans and ancient vertebrates and the birthplace of "Peking Man". The Zhoukoudian Site is a national key cultural relic protection unit. It is located in the north of Dragon Bone Hill in Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan District, southwest of Beijing. It is the world's most abundant, systematic and valuable human site in the early Paleolithic period. From 1921 to 1927, archaeologists discovered three human tooth fossils outside the "Peking Man" cave site three times. In 1929, the skull fossil of the Peking Man was discovered, as well as artificial tools and fire remains, which became a major archaeological discovery that shocked the world. In 1930, fossils and cultural relics of the Upper Cave Man dating back about 20,000 years ago were discovered at the Zhoukoudian site. However, the ensuing wars and chaos have lost all the fossil specimens of the Peking Man and Upper Cave Man discovered since 1927, and their whereabouts are still unknown. This event has become a world mystery in the history of archaeology in the 20th century. After the founding of New China, the excavation and research of the Zhoukoudian site was resumed, and a large amount of valuable data was obtained. So far, archaeologists have excavated fossils such as skulls, mandibles, teeth representing more than 40 corpses, as well as abundant stone tools, bone tools, horn tools and fire remains. The Zhoukoudian Site Museum systematically introduces to us the living environment and living conditions of the "Peking Man" 600,000 years ago, the "New Cave Man" 100,000 years ago, and the "Upper Cave Man" 18,000 years ago. The front of the prologue hall is a three-dimensional model of Longgu Mountain, and the display cabinets are filled with various rock specimens from 400 million to 100 million years ago in the Zhoukoudian area, reflecting the geological changes of the artillery area.
Mancheng Han Tombs
Mancheng Han Tomb is located in Lingshan, Mancheng County, 21 kilometers northwest of Baoding City. It is the tomb of Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, and his wife Dou Wan. It is the most complete and largest cave palace in China. Liu Sheng, King of Zhongshan in the Western Han Dynasty, was the son of Emperor Jing of Han, Liu Qi, and the half-brother of Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che. He was named King of Zhongshan in the third year of Emperor Jing's reign (154 BC) and died in February of the fourth year of Emperor Wu's reign (113 BC). He ruled for 42 years. Zhongshan State was located at the eastern foot of Taihang Mountain, roughly including the area south of Yishui River and north of Hutuo River. Its capital was located in Lunu (now Dingzhou City, Hebei Province). There were ten generations of kings in Zhongshan State in the Western Han Dynasty, and Liu Sheng was the first generation. Both the tomb of Liu Sheng and the tomb of Dou Wan were built in the way of using mountains as mausoleums. The tomb passage and tomb chamber were carved out of the mountains and were arc-shaped. The two tombs were similar in plan layout. The whole tomb is divided into six parts: the tomb passage, corridor, south side chamber, north side chamber, middle chamber and back chamber. Wooden tile houses and stone slab houses were built in the tomb chambers, forming a luxurious underground palace with complete functions. In addition to the gorgeous furnishings and coffins in the tomb, more than 10,000 kinds of cultural relics were unearthed during the excavation. Among them, there are more than 4,000 exquisite gold and silver wares, jade and stone wares, bronze wares, iron wares, etc., and 19 kinds of bronze lamps, especially the Changxin Palace Lantern and the inlaid gold Boshan furnace are the most precious. The two complete sets of gold thread jade clothes of Liu Sheng and Dou Wan are the first to be discovered in the national archaeological work. Liu Sheng's gold thread jade clothes are 1.88 meters long, with 2498 jade pieces and about 1,100 grams of gold thread; Dou Wan's jade clothes are 1.72 meters long, with 2160 jade pieces and about 600 grams of gold thread. The unearthed cultural relics from the Han Tombs at Lingshan in Mancheng have been exhibited in countries and regions such as Europe, Asia and America, and have received high praise at home and abroad.
Jieshi Mountain Scenic Area
The main peak of Jieshi Mountain is Xiantaiding, which is 695 meters above sea level and is the highest peak near the Bohai Sea. There is a famous temple "Shuiyan Temple" in the mountain. The two characters "Jieshi" carved by the ancients are preserved on the cliff. Climbing to Xiantaiding (15 kilometers from the sea), you can overlook the sea, from the mouth of Luanhe River to Qinhuangdao Port, from the Luanhe estuary in the west to Shanhaiguan Qinhuangdao Port in the east. The 15-kilometer-long mainland between the mountains and the sea lies quietly at your feet. The sea is boundless, and the sky and the sea are one. It is indeed a holy place for "Jieshi Sea Viewing". The predecessors listed the ten scenes of Jieshi Mountain, among which "Jieshi Sea Viewing" is the most spectacular. The other nine are Tianzhu Lingyun, Shuiyan Chunxiao, Shidong Qiufeng, Xizhang Paiqing, Dongfeng Songcui, Longpan Linghe, Fengzhu Xiangluan, Xiahui Zudu, and Xianying Canglang.
