Liuzhou Bailian Cave Cave Science Museum

　　   Bailian Cave is situated on Lotus Mountain in the southern suburbs of Liuzhou City and is a cultural site from the Paleolithic Age. The cave is twenty meters high, with the main chamber covering an area of 774 square meters. There is an underground river beside the cave, with year-round flowing water, and a lake remnant in front of the cave. Surrounded by rolling hills, the scenery is picturesque.

　　   Bailian Cave is home to China’s first cave science museum. The exhibition rooms of the museum display a large number of fossils of ancient humans and mammals. These fossils indicate that as early as 50,000 years ago, the people of Bailian Cave were already capable of sewing clothes, using fire, and cooking food. Known as the paradise of ancient humans in South China, the Liuzhou Bailian Cave Cave Science Museum is located 12 kilometers southeast of Liuzhou City. It is the first comprehensive museum dedicated to cave science research in China, proposed and established by the renowned anthropologist Professor Pei Wenzhong. The natural environment of Bailian Cave is unique, with winding narrow passages inside the cave stretching over 1,870 meters in total. The karst cave covers an area of approximately 7,000 square meters, and the lower level of the cave features an underground river passage about 370 meters long with clear, ceaseless flowing water year-round.

　　   Within its cave sediment layers, animal bone fossils, tooth fossils, stone tools, stone ornaments, and primitive sandy pottery shards have been unearthed. These cultural relics represent a continuous sequence from the late Paleolithic Age, through the Mesolithic Age, and into the early Neolithic Age, spanning a time range of 37,000 to 7,000 years — a rare find in China. The Bailian Cave site is now listed as a municipal-level key cultural relic protection unit.
