Caves and Ice Age Art in the Swabian Jura
Modern humans first arrived in Europe during the last Ice Age, 43,000 years ago. One of the areas they settled was the Swabian Jura in southern Germany. Six caves excavated since the 1860s have yielded objects dating back between 43,000 and 33,000 years. These include animal figurines (including cave lions, mammoths, horses and bovines), musical instruments and personal ornaments. Other figurines depict creatures that are half-human, half-animal, and one female statue. These archaeological sites display some of the oldest figurative art in the world, helping to illuminate the origins of human artistic development.
Longqingxia Tourist Area
The Little Three Gorges is better than the Three Gorges, and the mountains are more dangerous than the Three Gorges. The Little Li River is better than the Li River, and the water is clearer than the Li River. This is a couplet that tourists once wrote for Longqing Gorge. Perhaps, it tells the heritage of this piece of beautiful mountains and waters; perhaps, the deeper embodiment and perception cannot be exhausted with a couplet. But Longqing Gorge is Longqing Gorge. It has the tenderness and gracefulness of southern landscapes, and the strength and masculinity of northern landscapes. It is a culmination of the mountains and rivers of the north and south, and a bright pearl outside the Great Wall... The charm of the Li River is overwhelming, and tourists are everywhere in the painting. The mountains, with peaks in a row, winding and rugged, follow the shape and meaning, and are named according to their appearance. The vicissitudes of nature and the ingenious craftsmanship have created more than 30 landscapes such as the Tathagata, Zhongshan, Fengguan Island, Dongdazhai, and Moon Bay, which are attached to people's emotions, and the mountains and rivers have people's personality and spirituality. The water is clear and flowing, winding and winding, green and soft, with mountains and birds in my arms, and white clouds in my heart. The mountains are winding and the water is flowing, and the water flows through the mountains. It can be said that "there is no way out of the cliff, but there is another world after the clouds open." In the spring, Longqing Gorge is a place to climb high and look far, clear your heart and nourish your lungs. The scattered apricot flowers on the mountain dot the mountain scenery, and tourists can feel the aura of spring. In the midsummer of Longqing Gorge, the climate is cool and the air is fresh. The temperature is 6 degrees lower than that in Beijing city, and even 0.8 degrees lower than that in Chengde Mountain Resort. In the midwinter, the freezing period is long and extremely cold, so the wonder of ice lantern art was born here. The gorge is a world of ice sculptures and jade, a paradise of ice and snow in the north.
