brief introduction

At the southern foot of Jinping Mountain, there is a peach blossom stream with steep mountains and steep banks. In 1979, when the archaeologists cleaned up the Han Tombs here, more than ten pieces of Paleolithic tools made of flint were found in the loess layer 55 cm below the surface of the earth. The processing method can be traced back to the processing technology of Peking man in Zhoukoudian 500000 years ago. Later, more than 100 pieces of Paleolithic and cultural materials with quartz as the main raw material were found between the loess layer and the bedrock. According to experts' appraisal, taohuajian is the only Paleolithic site with clear stratigraphic relationship in the eastern coastal area of China, reflecting the living conditions of ancient human beings 40000-50000 years ago.

Taohua stream is the largest stream in Yuntai mountain range, with 36 sceneries all over it. It's like a fairyland in a picture, with clouds and mist, flowing springs and waterfalls, steep cliff, changing scenery step by step, luxuriant forest along the stream, green bamboo and beautiful grass

Jiangjunya rock painting, known as "Oriental Tianshu", is a historical relic of goumang tribe in ancient times. It is the original record of pilgrimage center and astronomical observation of Dongyi ancestors 7000 years ago. The sun, the stars and the peach blossom stream in the rock paintings are the largest and longest mountain stream in Jinping Mountain, with a total length of 4.4 kilometers. It originated from Mt. ma'er, and the beautiful scenery of "peach blossom with ancient Tianjin on both sides" reappears in the world. On Mt. ma'er, the streams flow thousands of times and hundreds of times to form a torrent of water. They pass through the tall and straight trees on the mountain, and together with the bare stone bones of the mountain peak, they form a unique Chinese painting, which finally flows to the south slope. Below the scenic spot, there is the famous Jinping Phosphate mining area.

Taohuajian Paleolithic site is about 2 meters thick, with a total area of about 5000 square meters. Through collection and trial excavation, the stone tools obtained include boat shaped stone core, two pole stone core, funnel-shaped stone core, half cone stone core, scraper, pointed organ, artificial stone slice and small stone leaf. According to the identification of Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, these stone tools are cultural relics of the late Paleolithic age. Taohuajian site of the late Paleolithic age is the only site with small stone leaf industry found in the eastern coastal area of China so far, which is of great significance to the study of the development of ancient culture and the migration of ancient human beings. In particular, there are many similarities between the production technology of some stone cores and those unearthed in Japan, which provide extremely valuable materials for the study of ancient communication between China and Japan. In 1982, it was announced as the first batch of cultural relics protection units in Lianyungang City.
