The Erdaojingzi Site is in Wenzhong Town, Hongshan District. It is a walled settlement from the Lower Xiajiadian culture, about 4,000 years old. The ring ditch, city walls, courtyards and adobe houses are remarkably well preserved, which is rare in China. Some house walls still stand more than two meters high. It was named one of China's Top Ten Archaeological Discoveries of 2009 and is now a national key cultural heritage protection unit. A site museum built over the original location lets visitors get close to the excavation. The site is about 15 kilometers from the city center. Opening hours should be checked on site.
