Zhoukoudian

Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site - the Caves (taken in July 2004)

Zhoukoudian or Choukoutien is a cave system near Beijing, China. It has yielded many paleontological discoveries, including Peking Man.

Already in the early 1960s, the State Council of the PRC listed it as an important cultural relics location. It has since been improved.

The site is to the southwest of Beijing city, and is accessible via the Jingshi Expressway; it, and Zhoukoudian, are well signposted.
