  The Shimao Site is situated on the north bank of the Yellow River in Lajia Village, southern Guanting Town. It is a large village site from the late Neolithic Age and is a national key cultural relics protection unit. The site reflects the living standards and relatively high social hierarchy of the Lajia village 4,000 years ago, uncovering unprecedented prehistoric disaster remains. It was listed as one of China’s top ten archaeological discoveries in the year 2000, among which the excavated "King of Stone Chimes of the Yellow River" is currently the largest stone chime ever found in Chinese archaeology.

The Shimao Site is a national key cultural relics protection unit.
