Each site holds significant historical and cultural value, offering visitors a glimpse into China's past and its enduring legacy.

Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian

In 1987, the Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site was inscribed on the World Heritage List. Located in Longgu Mountain, north of Zhoukoudian Town, Fangshan District, Beijing, it is one of the most abundant, systematic, and valuable sites of early human habitation during the Paleolithic Era in the world.

The Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site scenic area is divided into two parts: the site park and the museum. The site park mainly showcases the original fossil excavation sites and provides on-site displays of various stratigraphic layers. The museum offers rich and detailed exhibitions where visitors can learn about intriguing archaeological findings, such as the "earliest shoe-wearer".

At Zhoukoudian, visitors can stroll through cultural markets, watch a 4D film about the "Peking Man", and experience immersive encounters with ancestors to gain insights into ancient cultures. Children can participate in activities guided by science educators, such as cleaning and restoring fossils using professional tools. They can also engage in simulated archaeological excavations within a 300-square-meter area of the site, using specialized tools to unearth and clean fossils, thus gaining a comprehensive understanding of paleontology.
