The Xinglong Ancient Tomb Cluster consists of over 20 brick-chambered tombs from the Jin and Yuan dynasties. All have earthen mounds on the surface, some of which—due to erosion—have exposed the blue bricks of the tomb chambers. Some, having been looted in earlier years, have fragments of purple-glazed stoneware urn coffins and yellowish ceramic shards scattered around the burial pits. The Siping Cultural Relics Office and the Shuangliao Cultural Relics Management Office have excavated two brick-chambered urn coffin tombs whose tomb roofs had already collapsed.
