Cai Zhuang Earthen City is located on a hill on the west bank of the Juma River in Cai Zhuang Village, Nan Shangle Township, Fangshan District. It was built during the Warring States period. The city is rectangular in shape, stretching 310 meters from north to south and 306 meters from east to west, with walls 4 meters high and 12 meters thick. Three sides of the city are walled, while the northern side is built against a steep cliff, with the Juma River flowing beneath it. The gate is situated on the southern side but has collapsed into a gap, which now serves as a passage to Ban Cheng Village. The walls were constructed using compacted yellow earth, with each layer about 15 centimeters thick. Numerous remnants of red and gray pottery shards, as well as pottery artifacts, have been found both inside and outside the city.
