The Shuidonggou site lies at the foot of the Ming Great Wall northeast of Lingwu, Ningxia. Found in 1923, it was one of the first Paleolithic sites excavated in China; its layers, some 40,000 to 15,000 years old, have yielded large numbers of stone tools. It is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
