Zhenjiangying Site

The Zhenjiangying Site is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Zhenjiangying Site is located north of Zhenjiangying Village, Nanshangyue Township, Fangshan District, adjacent to the Juma River to the east.

The site stretches approximately 300 meters from north to south and about 50 meters from east to west. The surface features abundant cultural remains, including numerous red and gray pottery shards, with exposed tombs and other structures visible in the exposed earthen walls. Remains from the Shang and Zhou dynasties were discovered in the 1950s, and in 1986, Neolithic period remains were also found at the site. Alongside these discoveries, housing foundations, storage pits, and a collection of pottery, stone tools, bone tools, and horn tools were unearthed. There is also a Ming Dynasty pagoda on the site, known as the Zhenjiang Pagoda. This stupa-style pagoda stands about 13 meters tall and is entirely constructed from bean dregs stone. The base is square and designed in the style of a Sumeru pedestal. The waist of the pagoda features relief carvings of upturned and downturned lotus petals, and there is a small niche-like door on the southern side of the stupa. The upper part consists of nine stacked discs and a precious bead finial. Next to the pagoda grows an ancient locust tree, roughly as thick as two people embracing.
