Yanjinggou is one of the most classical fossil localities of Quaternary mammals in China. The fauna unearthed in this place is an important part and a typical representative of Ailuropoda-Stegodon fauna in South China. This paper, combining with faunal composition, geological and geomorphological features, summarizes the researching history of the Yanjinggou fauna and points out its value in paleontological research. Moreover, the implications of the paleogeographical research on Yanjinggou fauna is elaborated, and its indicating function of the Three George’s opening to navigation is also pointed out.
