Xingbin Qilin Mountain

　　00 meters southwest of Helong Village, Qiaogong Township, Xingbin District. Surrounded by rolling hills and picturesque peaks, when viewed from afar, Qilin Mountain resembles a reclining qilin (a mythical creature) lifting its head, hence the name.

　　On January 14, 1956, experts Jia Lanpo and Wu Rukang from the field investigation team of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, discovered a fossilized partial cranial base of a human skull in the Gaotou Cave (known in Zhuang language as Kamtou Cave) on this mountain. Associated animal fossils included deer teeth, pig teeth, and a large number of gastropod shells. They also found one crude stone tool and two artificially flaked stone flakes. The human skull fossil was named "Qilinshan Man" and is now housed in the Chinese Academy of Sciences' Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology Museum, while its replica is kept in the Guangxi Museum. The discovery of the Qilinshan human fossils has contributed to research on human origins and distribution. It indicates that ancient human ancestors lived and thrived on the land of Xingbin District. Research suggests that "Qilinshan Man" dates back to approximately 20,000 years ago, during the late Paleolithic Age.

　　Qilin Mountain has been designated as a cultural relic protection unit of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
