The Ancient Tombs Cluster of Egret Islet is a cultural heritage site protected at the provincial level in Anhui Province.

The Ancient Tombs Cluster of Egret Islet is located in San Nüdun Village, Lu'an Economic and Technological Development Zone.

It is one of the regions with a high concentration of ancient tombs in Lu'an and has consistently been a key area of focus for both national and provincial cultural heritage departments. The tombs in this cluster range in age from the Warring States period to the Song Dynasty. Covering a span of more than two millennia, the relics unearthed here hold significant historical, scientific, and artistic value. They provide a wealth of physical materials for studying the evolution of society, economy, urban construction, culture, and burial practices in Lu'an from the Warring States period through the Song and Ming Dynasties, serving as a testament to Lu'an's history. Since the establishment of the Lu'an Economic and Technological Development Zone in the early 1990s, in support of economic development, cultural heritage departments at both the city and provincial levels have conducted surveys, explorations, and archaeological excavations within the zone. Over the years, thousands of ancient tombs of various types have been excavated, yielding tens of thousands of cultural relics (sets), which are of great importance to the study of Lu'an's ancient civilization.
