Ape Cave Scenic Spot

The discovery of the ancient ape man cave in Tangshan town is a major archaeological breakthrough after yunmou in Yunnan, Lantian in Shaanxi, Zhoukoudian in Beijing and Hexian in Anhui. Since 1995, it has become a tourist attraction open to tourists. There is a huge group of caves in Leigong Mountain in the west of Tangshan town. The total area of the caves has reached tens of thousands of square meters. At present, Leigong cave and huludong cave are open to tourists. On March 13, 1993, a complete fossil skull of ancient human was unearthed in huludong, which has attracted worldwide attention. Archaeologists have discovered more than ten kinds of animal fossils here. According to scientific identification, this ape man was born in Nanjing about 300000 years ago. As a result, the human history of Nanjing has been advanced for more than 200000 years. At the same time, it is confirmed that the Yangtze River Basin is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation. There are more than ten kinds of fossils found in huludong, such as swollen bone deer and spotted deer. Most of these animals lived in the Middle Pleistocene 150 million years ago. Tangshan ape Cave Scenic Area can be divided into six parts, namely, the stone carving spring landscape at the entrance, the ancient human stone carving garden at the foot of the mountain, the ancient human historical materials exhibition hall, the ape carving landscape on the cliff at the entrance of the site, the natural karst cave landscape, and the bamboo garden leisure area. According to Professor Zhu's conception, it will become a "Stone Park" showing ancient human beings in Nanjing and even the whole country. The funnel-shaped notch originally exposed on the cliff becomes a natural relief stone wall. According to the field investigation, the head shaped stones on the stone wall will be slightly carved to form 4-5 "Nanjing ape man" head portraits. Different from the U.S. presidential hill, the ape man head avoids the trace of axe chiseling, and is integrated with natural rocks. In addition, on the top of the cave, two or three giant bronze statues of ape hunting stand as giant symbols of the cave. Throughout the scenic area, stone age architectural sketches such as thatched cottages, stone tools, nest houses and cave houses can be seen everywhere, full of a sense of history. Accommodation: the hot spring hotel is built close to the mountain and integrates the ancient and modern architectural art. The appearance is simple and elegant, but the interior decoration is magnificent. The hotel is equipped with Restaurant Department, guest room department, karaoke dance hall, air conditioning, color TV, program-controlled telephone and complete facilities. In the hot spring hotel, tourists can enjoy the snacks, fast food and high-end banquet with the characteristics of Tangxiang and the flavor of North and south. It is the best place for tourists to get rid of fatigue after visiting Tangshan Scenic spots.
