Nanjing Man Cave, Archaeological cave site in Tangshan, China
The Nanjing Man Cave contains interconnected karst formations with natural stalactites and holds significant archaeological remains within its limestone chambers.
Scientists discovered two partial skull fragments and a molar tooth in 1993, dating back approximately 580,000 to 620,000 years, establishing evidence of early human presence.
The discovery of Homo erectus nankinensis fossils in this cave confirmed the Yangtze River Valley as an essential location for early Chinese civilization development.
The cave opens daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with an entry fee of 27 RMB, accessible by train from Nanjing Railway Station or taxi service.
The site contains fossils of numerous mammal species from the middle Pleistocene period, approximately 150 million years ago, alongside the human remains.
