On cliffs above the rivers of China's south-west border country, the Luoyue people painted their ceremonies between roughly the 5th century BCE and the 2nd century CE. The 38 rock art sites, set in a landscape of karst, rivers and plateaux, are read as scenes of the bronze drum culture that once spanned southern China — and stand as its only surviving trace. UNESCO inscribed the Zuojiang Huashan Rock Art Cultural Landscape in 2016.
