The cave extends southwest, about 50 meters deep, 2-3 meters wide and 2.5-3 meters high. From April to may in 1960, an Zhimin, a Paleolithic archaeologist from the Institute of archaeology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, presided over the first trial excavation. The second trial excavation was carried out in 1978. The two trial excavation are near the entrance, and the internal large-scale excavation task will be carried out later. According to the two tests at the entrance of the cave, the cultural layer is about 6 meters thick and can be divided into five layers.
