Wanjialing Tomb Cluster

The Wanjialing Tomb Cluster is a cultural relic protection unit of Hubei Province.

Wanjialing Tomb Cluster

Located in Zuonao Village, Lihé Town, Xiantao City, the Wanjialing Tomb Cluster includes tombs from the Han to the Tang dynasties. The tombs are distributed east-west on a relatively high ridge, covering an area of approximately 32,000 square meters. In the eastern part of the site, there remains a large earthen mound about 40 meters in diameter and 3–4 meters above the ground surface, commonly known as “Fairy Mountain.” Valuable relics such as a four-handled net-patterned jar from the Han Dynasty, a celadon jar from the Jin Dynasty, and a two-handled jar from the Tang Dynasty have been collected, among which the four-handled net-patterned jar has been designated as a national first-class cultural relic. The tomb bricks are generally plain, though some feature diamond patterns. This tomb cluster covers a large area and holds significant academic value.
