【Nancha Eastern Han Tombs】

Located not far from Nancha Township, about 6 kilometers north of Sangzhi County, these tombs are distributed across areas including Chenjiawan, Guanjiabao, Wujiaowan, and Honglongpo, covering an area of approximately 30,000 square meters. In 1962, provincial and prefectural (Xiangxi Autonomous Prefecture) cultural relics and archaeology teams discovered numerous ancient tombs in the Chenjiawan and Guanjiabao areas during a cultural relics survey in Sangzhi. They found over 20 tomb mounds, each about 2 meters high and 3 meters in diameter, mostly circular in shape. Some of the tombs had already been exposed above ground, revealing a cluster of geometric-patterned brick-chamber tombs. After identification, these ancient tombs were confirmed to be part of an Eastern Han tomb complex. It is now a prefectural-level key cultural relic protection unit.
