Longdong Flying Goose Ridge Site

The Longdong Flying Goose Ridge Site is a cultural heritage site protected by Tianhe District.

The Longdong Flying Goose Ridge Site is situated within the South China Botanical Garden at No. 1190 Tianyuan Road, Changxing Subdistrict. It dates back to the Neolithic Age (4000–2200 years ago). The site sits at an elevation of 62.10 meters on Flying Goose Ridge in Longdong. Due to soil erosion, numerous artifacts and cultural layers are exposed on the surface. Over a thousand relics have been unearthed, including stone axes, arrowheads, jade rings, cord-marked coarse pottery with sand inclusions, stamped pottery shards, pottery spinning whorls, net sinkers, bowls, and more. This site represents ancient cultural remains in the Guangzhou area and fills a gap in the pre-Qin period archaeological record of the city. It holds significant importance for the study of ancient human culture in Guangzhou.

On October 19, 2012, it was designated as part of the second batch of cultural heritage sites protected by Tianhe District.
