Shaoguan, Guangdong | Visit the Ma'ba Man at Lion Rock Cave

⛰️ Discover this hidden gem of a mysterious cave near Guangdong🕳️ 🚗 Just a 2-hour drive from the city 👣 Explore the 130,000-year-old Homo sapiens site 🕴🏽 And meet the adorable Mr. Ma'ba Man! 🔥 Highlights 1️⃣ Cave exploration Lion Rock consists of two limestone peaks, the "Lion Head" and the "Lion Tail," with a cave and underground river hidden within the mountain! Take a boat to explore the wonders of the cave. Look up to see the hanging stalactites and down to see the deep, clear water. It's like stepping into the world of *The Lost Tomb*. Inside the cave, you can also find the excavation site of Ma'ba Man skull fossils and touch the traces of history from 130,000 years ago. 2️⃣ Museum The museum next to the site displays the evolutionary history of ancient humans, from stone tools to animal fossils, offering an immersive experience of primitive life!

The simple, primitive figure holding glutinous rice wine and Shatian pomelo is irresistibly cute! It's recommended to wear light-colored clothing for a contrasting photo with the giant sculpture, which is sure to be a hit on social media. 📍 Address: Lion Rock, Maba Town, Qujiang District, Shaoguan City 🚗 Transportation: 2-hour drive from Guangzhou and Foshan.
