The Lingjiatan archaeological site was the only one in east China’s Anhui to make the list.

The site is located in Lingjiatan village of Hanshan county. Since the first excavation in 1987, many important relics dating back to the late Neolithic Age have been unearthed, including altars, large clan cemeteries and jade vessels.
