Karo Ruins

Located at 12 Kilometers southeast of Qamdo town, with an altitude of 3,200 meters above sea level, Karo ruins dating back to four or five thousand years in the history are discovered.

According to archaeology these ruins belong to the Neolithic Age. There are not only ruins of house architecture, stone paved roads, stone built walls and cave dwellings, but also many different kinds of chipped stone implements have been discovered. The discovery of the Karo ruins provides new threads for studying migration and exchange between people of northwest and southwest in Neolithic Age.
