Through excavations, the accumulation sequence of the strata at the first site of Shuidonggou Site has been thoroughly clarified, and the accumulation formation process of the paleolithic culture layer at the first site has been understood.

Shuidonggou Village
It was the ancestors of the north who created the cellar-cave and crypt-type living rooms. This kind of room is often built on the hillside or ditch bank with thick loess soil layer, and has the characteristics of warm winter and cool summer. On this basis, Shuidonggou people improved this way of living and developed into a semi-crypt type

Between Shuidong Gully and Hongshan Fort, there is a canyon about 4 kilometers long, which is a "masterpiece" of nature, but in the Ming Dynasty, it became an important part of the "deep gully and high fortress" defense system of the Great Wall. The two sides of the canyon are often eroded by wind and rain for years, and the deep loess is washed by long-term rain.
