In the cave are jagged rocks, among which scatter a great number of stone blocks as big as a fist, which, according to the archaeologists, are in the shape of chopper, scraper, etc. simply made of cobblestones.
Inferred from the relics' characteristics, this site has a history as long as over 10,000 years, belonging to the late period of the Old Stone Age. It is valuable because it is the first pre-historic cultural relic found in the suburbs of Nanning, offering a key trace back to the Nanning ancients. | Edit by: Tom | |
