in Chechang Village, Fangshan District, and is among the fifth batch of municipal-level cultural heritage protection units in Beijing.

It was initially built during the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Jin Dynasty (1149–1160) and was expanded and renovated over the next three dynasties. Major remains include an earthen burial mound rebuilt after the Qing entered the Pass, the ruins of the Hall of Eminent Favor, and remnants of the Sacred Way. Historical records and archaeological surveys indicate that it is the site of the Rui Mausoleum (burial place of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda), Xing Mausoleum (burial place of Jin Shizong Wanyan Yong), and Jing Mausoleum (burial place of Jin Ruizong Wanyan Zongguang). It plays an important role in the study of the historical development and changes of the Jin Dynasty.
