The Peking Man Site at Zhoukoudian is at the foot of Dragon Bone Mountain in Fangshan District, 50 kilometers southwest of Beijing. It is also known as the "Home of Peking Man" and is one of the most famous hominid sites in the world. Peking Man lived there approximately 500,000 to 600,000 years ago. In addition to Peking Man, fossils of the "New Cave Men" dating back 100,000 years and the "Mountain Top Cave Man" dating back 20,000 years have also been discovered there.
Lugou Bridge was built in 1189 and is one of the oldest multi-arch bridges in the world. It is also known as the Marco Polo Bridge because Marco Polo described it in his travel book as "the best and most unique bridge in the world." It was also the site of the Lugou Bridge Incident on July 7, 1937, which marked the beginning of the Second Sino-Japanese War.
