In the county town of Malipo County, Wenshan Prefecture, Yunnan Province, there is a hill about 100 meters high, covered with dense pine trees, and inconspicuous in the surrounding mountains. However, on the top of this unremarkable hill, there is a huge rock called "King Rock". The rock wall of this king rock is painted more than 4,000 years ago in the Neolithic period, and has been determined by the State Council as a key cultural relics protection unit in the country, which is the most important humanistic landscape in Malipo County. The rock paintings of Dawangyan are composed of 25 different sizes and shapes, and are about 3 meters high from the bottom to the top. At present, the lower half of Dawangyan rock paintings have been protected by a newly built wall, and ordinary tourists can only look up at some of the rock paintings outside the wall. The gate in the middle of the fence must be opened to see the whole picture of the king's rock painting.

    Neolithic rock paintings in the frontier area ~ Dawang Yanya painting passed by it a week ago and left with regret. I didn't expect to come back to Malipo today. I stayed at the Dawangyan Hotel not far away, and I couldn't wait to see the respect when I settled in. It is very close to the road and will not get lost. More than ten minutes of road, dense forests along the way, unknown trees, and slightly scented flowers. It is not difficult to climb, but there are a lot of steps. You can take another cement road down, and there is a monument there. Experts believe that it is a work from the late Neolithic to the Bronze Age. 25 visible patterns, painted in three colors of black and red and white. 13 personal objects, 3 cattle, 1 animal. There are also 8 bud patterns and geometric patterns. There are relatively high historical archaeological and artistic value. It has been announced as county, state, provincial and national cultural and cultural institutions. It is also the top ten historical and cultural heritage of Wenshan Prefecture. Standing on the rock above the rock painting, you can also enjoy Malipo County.
