It was discovered in a limestone cave during rock blasting in the winter of 1971. 88 stone artifacts were found in the cave. The types and production methods of the stone artifacts are traditional Chinese Paleolithic techniques, with slight improvements. The era is slightly later than that of Peking Man. The accompanying animal fossils include Oriental Stegodon, Giant Panda, Chinese Rhinoceros, Chinese Hyena, Porcupine, etc. The Shilongtou site and accompanying animal fossils date from the late Middle Pleistocene, providing important information for understanding the early Paleolithic culture of southern China.

The park is one of the top ten demonstration bases for provincial patriotic education in Hubei Province. It is located in the Tonglushan mining area of ??Daye Nonferrous Metals Company, 3 kilometers southwest of Daye City, and 28 kilometers away from Huangshi City. It is a thematic heritage museum that displays the development history of copper mining and smelting in ancient China. The ruins were discovered in 1973, and the museum was built and opened to the public in 1984.
The "Daye County Chronicles" published by Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty records: Tonglu Mountain has a "high and flat top with huge boulders facing each other. Every time it rains, the patina is like snowflakes and small beans dotted on the earth and rocks, hence the name." Tonglu Mountain is rich in copper mines The resources have attracted miners of all ages to exploit them. The age of the Tonglushan ancient copper mine site began in the late Shang Dynasty, and continued through the Western Zhou Dynasty, Spring and Autumn Period, and Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, which lasted for more than a thousand years. In addition, ancient people also mined and smelted copper here during the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is a large-scale copper mining and smelting site that has a long history, a large scale of production, extremely rich connotations, the longest continuous mining and smelting time, and the best preservation so far in China. Since 1974, after 11 years of mining archaeological excavations, hundreds of vertical shafts (blind shafts) and level lanes (inclined lanes) of different eras, different structures, and different support methods have been cleared. There are more than ten shafts, nearly 100 large and small alleys, ten shaft blast furnaces for copper smelting in the early Spring and Autumn Period, two shaft furnaces for copper smelting in the late Warring States period, seventeen floor furnaces for copper smelting in the Song Dynasty, and a large number of production tools and daily utensils.
The mining and smelting technology of the Tonglushan ancient copper mine site developed independently and formed its own system, and has entered a quite mature stage. In terms of mining, the most significant feature is deep well mining, which has reached a maximum depth of more than 60 meters, and has successfully solved a series of complex technical problems such as underground ventilation, drainage, lifting, lighting and tunnel support; in terms of smelting, the ancients completely mastered it. A series of complex technologies such as the construction of the blast shaft furnace, the granulation of ore materials, slag making and ore blending, and furnace temperature control were analyzed using modern scientific instruments to analyze the blister copper blocks and smelting slag left behind. The purity of blister copper reaches 94, and the copper content in the smelting slag is only 0.7, which is almost the same as the smelting level of modern copper mines. The Tonglushan ancient copper mine site is the epitome of the development of ancient mining and metallurgical technology in my country and is known as a mining and metallurgical wonder of the world.
