The first place where humans played with fire - Xihoudu

[Awesome] The Xihoudu site is the oldest Paleolithic site in China and also the earliest evidence of human use of fire in China. [Awesome] The Xihoudu site was discovered on an ancient terrace about 170 meters above the river level on the left bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River. Cultural relics and animal fossils are concentrated in interlaced sand layers with an average thickness of about 1 meter. The animal fossils are mainly mammals, including giant beavers, saber-toothed elephants, flat-fronted elephants, and Bo's gazelles. Most of them are grassland animals, and there are also animals adapted to living in grasslands and forests, indicating that the Xihoudu area was a sparse forest-steppe environment at that time. [Chin] Game guide The Xihoudu ruins are not big and the ticket price is 30 yuan per person. There is a small museum on each side of the entrance, you can go and have a look. [Clapping] is a relatively small place, and most tourists come here to take photos. The general environment is khaki, and the photos taken make you feel like you are in Egypt. Friends who come to visit can bring beautiful clothes! [Clapping] The only place to eat nearby is Fenglingdu Town. There is a restaurant with big bowls of knife-cut noodles that I recommend. They taste very good.
