Dushizai Cave Site
独石仔洞穴遗址
An important Late Paleolithic to Early Neolithic cave site in Lingnan and a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit.
The Dushizai Cave Site lies in a solitary limestone hill near Heshui Town in Yangchun. It was excavated repeatedly between 1960 and 1980, yielding chipped stone tools, bone and antler implements, and many animal fossils. It dates to about 16,000 to 10,000 years ago. It is an important site for studying the transition from the Paleolithic to the Neolithic in South China and is listed as a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. The site focuses on preservation, with limited display facilities, so it suits visitors interested in archaeology who are passing by. The surrounding area features typical karst lone-peak farmland scenery.
