Located on the gentle slope of a hill 500 meters south of Xiguan Village, Huinan Town. It lies approximately 26 kilometers northwest of Huinan County. The Chaoyangzhen–Shansonggang railway runs east to west along the northern side of the site. The terrain on the hill is undulating, covering an area about 2 km long and 1.5 km wide in a rectangular shape, with the site situated toward the southern side of the eastern part of the hill. At the foot of the eastern side of the site flows a river from south to north, winding its way into the Huifa River. The Huinan–Jingyu Highway crosses the river in front of the site, then turns south, running parallel to the river. To the south lies a valley that has been developed into a residential area, connected to the west with a small ridge extending from the southern hill, beyond which lies Fengming Village. To the north, it faces Xiguan Village of Huinan Town in the distance. This is a flat and open area with abundant water sources, providing favorable natural conditions for ancient people to live and settle.
