Beizhuang Neolithic Site
北庄遗址
A Neolithic settlement site on Daheishan Island dating back about 6,000 years, known as the “Eastern Banpo” and listed as a national key cultural heritage site.
The Beizhuang site in Beizhuang Village on Daheishan Island is a large Neolithic settlement dating from roughly 6,500 to 5,500 years ago. Excavations have uncovered more than a hundred semi-subterranean dwellings as well as large numbers of pottery, stone and bone tools. Archaeologists call it the “Eastern Banpo,” and it is important for understanding prehistoric exchange between the Jiaodong Peninsula and the Liaodong Peninsula. It was listed as a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit in 1996. Today there is a heritage park and exhibition hall where you can see reconstructed dwellings and excavated artifacts. Take a boat to Daheishan Island and combine the visit with Longzhua Mountain in one day. Allow about 1 hour.
