The circle He ( Chinese  和县 , Pinyin Hé Xiàn ) belongs to the administrative area of the prefecture-level city Ma'anshan in the Chinese province of Anhui . In 1999 it had 642,036 inhabitants. The main town is the large community of Liyang.

The site of Homo erectus - Find of Hexian (Hexian yuanren yizhi 和 县 猿人 遗址) - the Longtandong Cave - has been on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China (3-184) since 1988 . This find is a fairly completely preserved skull roof (archive number PA 830), fragments of a lower jaw and a few teeth that were recovered in 1980/81. These fossils were first dated in 1984 to an age of 280,000 to 240,000 years, in 1987 to only 190,000 to 150,000 years and in 1998 to 412,000 ± 25,000 years.

These fossils are kept in the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing.
