The Gaojiazhen site ( Chinese 高家 镇 遗址 , Pinyin Gāojiāzhèn yízhǐ , English Gaojiazhen Site ) is a paleolithic site in Fengdu County of the government direct city of Chongqing in southwest China . The site is located on the 3rd terrace of the right bank of the Yangtze River in the area of the village of Guihua (桂花 村) of the large community of Gaojia (高家 镇Gaojia zhen ).
