Wonderful ancient cave of ape-man

Ape Cave, the first part of Julong Cave, is also the entrance part of Julong Cave, and it is the living site of apes.

During the excavation of Julong Cave, the sediments in the cave were divided into strata, and a "cultural layer" with a thickness of 10 meter was found, including the remains of ape-man life and the accumulation layer of animal fossils in the same era as ape-man. The ape-man cave was first discovered in Hebei province, and it is also rare in China. The landscape of natural caves and the site of ancient apes are integrated into one, making it the first place of Julong Cave in Lingshan.

Now the ancient cave of the ape-man has become an exhibition hall of the ape-man living area. Although all kinds of ancient animal fossils have been taken away for study, the shadow of ape-man life can still be seen in caves. In addition, an ash layer with a length of 12 m, a width of 3 m and a thickness of 2 m and a primitive fire pit, as well as the baking remains from black to brown on the surrounding rocks, are all evidence that the ape-man used fire.
