A woman walks past the bust of the Peking Man at the Peking Man park on the outskirts of Beijing. But its museum is shut because of a leaky roof.
Weeds choke the excavation site.
Only one sign tells the rare visitor what he s looking at. Fourteen years after it was proclaimed a U.N. World Heritage Site, the park isn t on most tours. Visitors shun it because it has so little to offer. We can t afford to renovate the areas surrounding the relics, said Zhang Shuangquan, assistant curator at the site s museum. The situation here has become a vicious circle.
