It was an awesome day out at Ninehewan in Hebei.
The road towards the archealogical site was dry and dusty but I could see the desert slowly becoming greener.
The Chinese government and the people of Hebei are trying their best to tame their desert and with great success.
Hebei is a coal producing province and a special train even transports coal to the sea coast port Qinhuangdao Port, which is the world's largest coal port. It is on the Bohai sea coast. While I was there the coal carrying trains going to Bohai sea seemed to be non stop.
Nihewan is the famous area where the Peking man was discovered in 1923-27. Some of the fossils found here dated roughly 750,000 years ago or even older. The government of Hebei has improved this area and it is becoming a tourist attraction site.
