Other 10 candidates for the top 10 list in the final round of appraisals are:

Shicun heritage site, Xiaxian county, Yuncheng, Shanxi province, dating back 6,000 years

The site provides the earliest evidence of construction built via rammed earth along Yellow River. The oldest stone carving pieces showing the silkworm chrysalis were also excavated, which may reveal that local residents had already grasped silkworm-breeding techniques.
