''General" Cliff Rock Paintings

These rock paintings are on the southern side of Jinping Mountain in the town of Jinping, in Lianyungang. Painted on the eastern cliff of the peak is a general on a horse, hence the name of the cliff. The paint­ings were made around the middle or late Neolithic Age and extend 72 feet from north to south and 50 feet from east to west. Ex-perts estimate that these paint­ings date back at least 4,000 years. These rock paintings are the only ones in China that reflect the production and life of an agricultural tribe.
