Erke Mountain

Erke Mountain is an extinct volcano. In recent years, when archaeologists investigated Erke Mountain, they discovered a Neolithic site on the saddle-shaped valley of the mountain and collected many stone tools. An almost complete pottery li was found on the cliff strata on the side of the crater hall. According to research, this pottery li is a bronze ware at least three or four thousand years ago. Therefore, it is inferred that Erke Mountain may have been around 1000 years ago. It erupted in the late Quaternary period ten thousand years ago.
