Among the remarkable discoveries at this site are bone flutes meticulously crafted from the tibia of the red-crowned crane, marking the earliest known seven-note musical instruments in the world and reshaping the narratives of Chinese and global music history.

Furthermore, Jiahu stands as one of the earliest hubs of wine production. Through the analysis of pottery remains, experts have determined that the Jiahu people had mastered the oldest brewing techniques 9,000 years ago, surpassing the record set by ancient Persia by 1,600 years.

Recognized as one of China's top 100 archaeological finds of the 20th century, the Jiahu Site offers visitors a profound bond to the wisdom and ingenuity of their ancestors from millennia past, inviting them to immerse themselves in the enchanting allure of Neolithic civilization.
