Chuandong Paleolithic Site in Puding county

Chuandong Paleolithic Site, 32 kilometers north of urban Anshun, is an ancient relic dating back 16,000 years. Chuandong culture is considered as "a beacon of Asian civilization".

Chuandong refers to a natural karst cave in the middle of a dissolution basin stretching dozens of kilometers. The cave, 30 meters in length, 13 meters at its widest point and 9 meters in height, is habitable because of warm winters and cool summers inside.

Chuandong culture includes stone and bone implements and horn work created by the ancients in Chuandong.
