Yiyuan county, situated in the hinterland of Yimeng Mountain, south of Zibo city, gets the name "Yiyuan" because it is famous for the origin of  Yihe River which is 800 Km long. It has an area of 1636 Sq.km and its average altitude is hightest  in Shandong province. As early as 400,000 or 500,000 years ago, there had already been "Yiyuan ape-men" ----the earliest native  human-beings in Shandong, living and propagating here.
