Cultural Relics
Hebei Province is one of the important
birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
Over 1,000,000 years ago ape-men
lived and multiplied on this land. They innovated glorious humane civilization
and left rich historical and cultural heritages. According to the cultural
relics census, there are 12,215 unmovable ancient sites, tombs and buildings in
the province, of which, 542, have been determined as key cultural relics under
provinciel protection, and 58 have been announced as key cultural relics under
state protection by the State Council.
Both of them rank first in the
country. There are 850,000 collected cultural relics in the province, of which
over 50,000 are precious cultural relics at the state level. The Great Wall
(Shanhaiguan) and the Imperial Mountain Resort including the temples around have
been included into the list of "World Heritages" by UNESCO (UN Educational,
scientific and Cultural Organization). The cities of Chengde, Baoding, Handan
and Zhengding County were named as the famoushistorical and cultural cities at
the state level. None of the cultural relics and ancient sites in the province,
no matter it is as old as more than 1,000,000 years or young as of modern times,
has an fault age or period.

archaeological fruits have revealed the long and glorious history of Hebei
Province.

Yangyuan River has a very clear geological age and rich cultural intension. It
is an important area to study the origin of human beings. The ancient Yanxian

and state Zhao of the "Seven Kingdoms" in the Warring states Period (486-256
B.C.), where a large number of and elegant cultural relics were excarated.

Western Han Dynasty (206B.C.-A.D.25), In Mancheng found two regular and complete
jade suits sewn with gold threads. The discovery of the ancient site of Emperor
Qinshihuang's temporary dwelling palace in Beidaihe has provided important
evidence for his tour to eastern China in ancient times.
