The Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site Park
The Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site Park is located on Longgu Mountain, Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan District, Beijing. It is a World Heritage Site, a national key cultural relics protection unit, and a national AAAA-level tourist attraction.
It is world-famous for the discovery of a large number of ancient human fossils, cultural relics, and animal fossils. The discovery of Peking Man fossils is a major milestone in the history of human archaeology. These fossils provide extremely precious physical evidence for the study of human origin and evolution, allowing people to get a glimpse of the life of ancient humans. The site park retains several important archaeological excavation sites, such as the Peking Man Cave, which have witnessed the vicissitudes of time and are the keys to opening the door to ancient history.
The exhibitions and displays in the park are diverse. By exhibiting a large number of fossil specimens, stone tools, and restoration models, it vividly reproduces the living scenes of Peking Man at that time: they lived in groups in caves, used simple and crude stone tools for hunting and gathering, and struggled to survive and reproduce in a harsh environment. At the same time, science popularization and education activities are also booming here. Professional docents will explain the historical and cultural connotations of the site in detail for tourists, enabling people to deeply understand the long process of human evolution and stimulating people's strong interest in archaeology and paleontology.
The Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site Park is not only an archaeological holy land with extremely high scientific research value but also an important platform for spreading human historical and cultural knowledge. It makes every visitor deeply feel the insignificance and greatness of humans in the long river of history, have a clearer understanding of the development of humanity itself, and thus cherish the inheritance of life and civilization more. It attracts tourists, scholars, and lovers of historical and cultural studies from all over the world to come and explore the mystery of human origin.
