4,800-year-old heritage site restored in China

Beijing, April 24: A 4,800-year-old cultural heritage site is being restored in northwest China.

The Dadiwan site is situated in Qin’an county of Gansu province, Xinhua reported.

The heritage site – one of the cradles of Chinese culture – originated in the Neolithic Age. It has some earliest traces of China’s agriculture, pottery, painting and writing.

The site also has the country’s first palace-like building.

This would be one of the country’s “largest and most comprehensive restoration”, said Cheng Xiaozhong, head of the Heritage Site Preservation Office.
