The Shuidonggou site is the earliest excavated Paleolithic cultural site in China. It is known as the "birthplace of prehistoric archaeology in China" and the "historical witness of cultural exchanges between China and the West". The Shuidonggou site records the historical witness of the reproduction of ancient humans and the struggle with nature, and contains rich and precious prehistoric materials. The Northern Ming Great Wall, "Hengcheng Dabian", Beacon Tower, City Fort, and Soldier Cave in the scenic area constitute the most complete military defense building in China.
