 "China constructing $18 mn cultural park in Tibet")
China is constructing a cultural park worth $18 million at a site of ancient human ruins in eastern Tibet that will recreate scenes from the lives of pre-historic Tibetans about 5,000 years ago.
The Karub Ruins Park, located in Qamdo City, will allow visitors to learn about the plateau's prehistoric civilisation, according to Yungzhung Dawa, head of the city's cultural heritage bureau.
The first-phase project includes an exhibition hall where pictures of the ruins of ancient houses will be displayed, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
Three excavations have been conducted on an area covering 3,040 square metres of ruins since their discovery.
They are the best-preserved Neolithic ruins on the Qinghai-Tibet plateau.
