Yuncheng, a city in North China’s Shanxi Province, is famous for its salt industry and culture throughout Chinese history. However, there are more secrets hidden in its past: it is a place where the fossils of the “Dawn Ape,” a primate that lived about 45 million years ago, were discovered and it is also one of the oldest Paleolithic sites in China, where the Dongzhuang Ruins were found.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, visited the Yuncheng Museum in Yuncheng, North China s Shanxi Province, on Tuesday.
