Bailiandong Cave Science Museum
白莲洞洞穴科学博物馆
China's first cave science museum, built around the Bailiandong prehistoric human site. It presents the full cultural sequence from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic.
The Bailiandong site lies on White Face Hill (Baimian Shan) on the southern outskirts of Liuzhou. It is a national key cultural heritage site. The deposits span the Late Paleolithic to the Early Neolithic, and excavated finds include human tooth fossils, chipped and ground stone tools and animal fossils, which are highly significant for the study of prehistoric cultural transition in South China. Next to the site stands the Bailiandong Cave Science Museum, billed as China's first cave science museum. It displays ancient humans such as the “Liujiang Man” and “Bailiandong Man” along with knowledge about karst caves, making it well suited to family science outings. Allow about 1 to 1.5 hours. It can be combined with Dule Cave. Opening hours and admission follow the museum's announcements. Transport: take a city bus or taxi to Bailiandong on Liushi Road, about 25 minutes.
