What to expect at Banpo Neolithic Village
The Neolithic Village, occupying an area of approximately 50,000 square meters, was divided into three parts: the residential area, the pottery making area and the burial area. And among the three, the residential section is the main part of the site, including the huts, kilns and tombs of the primitive residents. All these present us an outlook of the aboriginal village and the hard situations of the forefathers in pursuing the civilization, reflecting the production level and the social systems at that period of time.
