Hongshan Culture Site

Travel date: 2019-12-25. Ticket 60, including 4 museums: Niuheliang Hongshan Cultural Exhibition Center, Niuheliang Site Museum Comprehensive Hall, First Place (Goddess Temple), Second Place (Altar, Stone Studio), plus walking time, more than 3 hours. Public transportation: At first, I thought that only the car of "Jianping~Lingyuan" passed the Niuheliang site, but the ticket window of Jianping Bus Terminal said that it would not sell tickets for "Jianping~Niuheliang site" (but it should be OK to stop this car directly outside the station? ?), and then asked others, Finally, I took the car of "Ye Baishou (Jianping)~ Pingquan" for 5 yuan, about 20 minutes. I heard that there were 2 cars at the Niuheliang site. I turned around at the intersection of the site and returned to the county seat (see picture). When I left, I just met a 2nd road that was turning around at the intersection of the site. I sat on it. The driver said that most of the 2nd road only went to Fuping. There was a bus every hour to continue to go to the Niuheliang site, but this "hourly" was not strict. The 2nd road car took Hongqi Street and 101 National Road in the county, passing by Jianping Bus Terminal. I think that in the county seat, no matter how long the 2nd road can not reach the site, anyway, sit up first, go to the Fuping end and wait for the 2nd road to the site, or other passing shuttle bus is fine.

The Niuheliang site is located at the junction of Lingyuan City and Jianping County in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, 119 degrees 30 minutes east longitude and 41 degrees 20 minutes north latitude. It belongs to the Hongshan culture of the late Neolithic era, which is 5,500 to 5,000 years ago. The site was discovered in 1981, excavated in 1983, and was announced by the State Council as a key cultural relics protection unit in 1988. The excavation at the 16th site in 2003 was named the top ten archaeological discoveries in the country in 2003. In 2004, the site was listed as a key major site by the State Administration of Cultural Relics. In 2006, the State Administration of Cultural Relics was listed on the re-established "Prep List of China's World Cultural Heritage". In 2008, the State Administration of Cultural Relics and the People's Government of Liaoning Province determined that the Niuheliang National Archaeological Site Park project was officially launched based on the Niuheliang Site 8.3 square kilometers core reserve. In 2013, it was officially listed by the State Administration of Cultural Relics in the second batch of national archaeological sites. In 2012, it was added to the re-established "Prep List of China's World Cultural Heritage" with the site of Hongshan Post-Red Mountain and Weijiawopu in Chifeng City. The discovery of Niuheliang Hongshan Cultural Temple, Temple, and Liangshan Cultural Temple and precious jade tools proves with solid and rich archaeological data that as early as 5,000 years ago in the late Hongshan Culture, the social form has developed to the ancient stage of primitive civilization. She has provided powerful material evidence for the history of civilization of the Chinese nation for 5,000 years, and has had a major impact on the research of China's social development history, traditional culture history, ideological history, religious history, architectural history and art history in the ancient times. The Niuhe Lianghongshan cultural site is indeed the holy place of the Chinese nation's ancestors and the dawn of the Eastern civilization.

One of the famous major archaeological discoveries in China, it has been built as a museum, the goddess' avatar is the most precious, and there is also a jade pig dragon, known as the first dragon in China. Its archaeological significance lies in the evidence of the history of civilization in northern China for 5,000 years, which is worth a visit.

I think there is nothing wrong with the site itself. The problem is that I got off the train from Lingyuan or Jianping. There is no public transportation to arrive here, which completely wastes the meaning of the high-speed rail station. If you take a taxi, how to go back is a serious problem, which greatly limits the willingness of tourists to travel. According to the staff. They have problems commuting to and from work. After Chaoyang City put the site back into the city for management, the traffic problem is now unattended, and the local management ability is visible.

Very spectacular architecture, both inside and outside, very imposing.

Hongshan Cultural Site has a long history and culture, which is very meaningful

Growth knowledge, understanding history, worth visiting!

The building is magnificent and the explanation is quite detailed.
