Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Zhoukoudian Peking Man Site, Zhoukoudian, Beijing 100028 China

Situated 85km southwest of the city center. Zhoukoudian is an extensive cave system and the discovery site of the specimens of Peking Man, believed by some to be ancestors of the Chinese people. Major parts of the cave system are closed for rehabilitation, including the Upper Cave Man discovery site of the first few Peking Man fossils. Fret not if you want to see more of the archaeological site, because the park ticket (RMB 30) includes a hike to the Longgu Hill where you can see replicas of the other mammalian species discovered in the site. The nearby Zhoukoudian Site Museum is open for public until 4pm every day.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Shihuadong Scenic Area, Shihuadong Rd, Fangshan Qu, Beijing Shi, China

Whether or not Zhoukoudian is that optional item off your Beijing Bucket List, it’s still worth visiting as further north (around 30 min driving) will bring you to a fascinating destination: the Shihuadong or the Stone Flower Cave. The seven-layer underground cave system spans an area of 1.8 hectares and has spectacular halls full of different types of stalagmites, stalactites, and limestone pillars. Don’t miss the fourth underground layer where you can see the eponymous "stone flowers," or newly formed stalagmites with needle-like appendages that resemble fresh snowflakes. Beyond that, the cave gets steeper. The cave is cool, at around 13-15 degrees Celsius all year long, so it’s a great destination during the summertime.

Duration: 1 hour
