Chongqing brings history to life with archaeology tours

China Daily  

In Diaoyu city, an ancient fortress in Southwest China's Chongqing municipality, a special tour was conducted recently with a focus on dilapidated walls, old stones and ordinary-looking locations, rather than the photogenic spots normally favored by tourists. According to Yuan Dongshan, deputy head of the institute, the tour was designed to "make the cultural relics generate more vitality and cultivate the interest of participants in studying history and archaeology." "One of the reasons for Diaoyu City being granted this honor is that we excavated the earliest remains of a bomb found in China, and even in the world," Yuan said. After the explanation, a 12-year-old boy named Liang Ruiqian asked about the most precious thing excavated by Yuan, who started Diaoyu City's archeological excavation 20 years ago.
