Era: Han Dynasty

Address: 500 meters north of Pangjiabao, Xiaochaocun Village, Zhaobo Township, Yongji City

The tomb cluster stretches 1.5 kilometers from north to south and 0.5 kilometers from east to west. Originally there were nine large and small burial mounds, seven of which were leveled during water conservancy projects. Only two remain today—one is 4.5 meters high with a perimeter of 45 meters, the other is 3.5 meters high with a perimeter of 32 meters. Both have front and rear chambers with arched domes, and yielded funerary objects such as pottery jars and stoves.
