Fangshan Dabaiyutang Quarry Site
The Fangshan Dabaiyutang Quarry Site is located west of Gaozhuang Village, Dashiwuo Town, Fangshan District. Quarrying in Dashiwuo Town had reached a significant scale during the Sui Dynasty, supplying stone materials for the carving of scriptures at Yunju Temple. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, the quarries provided stone for imperial palaces and various royal constructions. Dabaiyutang is the largest and oldest among them, also known as Dashiwuo, measuring 120 meters in length, 41 meters in width, and approximately 25 meters in depth. It is also one of the more precious ancient mining relics preserved in the Beijing area.
