The Huashan rock art site may be considered to be one of the most impressive pre-Historic painted rock art panels of the world, located in the Zuojiang River valley of Guangxi.

The Gallery presents the many facets that go to make up one of the greatest prehistoric painted panels in the world. The highly standardised rock art site of Huashan.

It is believed by scholars that an ancient group called Luo Yue produced the Huashan rock art site between the Warring States Period & Eastern Han dynasty.

The archaeological background of Huashan Rock Art from the beginning of the Bronze Age to the Warring States Period & from the Qin dynasty to the end of Eastern Han dynasty.

Based on historical records and the studies of modern Zhuang and Muong people, scholars defined the Luo Yue's religion as animism and ancestor worship.
