Songjiayao Mound is located in Group 8, Fengqi Village, Yutang Town, Dujiangyan City, Chengdu, Sichuan Province, within a low mountainous and hilly area, covering a distribution area of 1,166.19 square meters. It was a celadon kiln site dating back to the Tang and Song Dynasties. The area around the mound is scattered with discarded celadon shards, kiln tools, and small ring-footed bowls that exhibit typical Song Dynasty styles. The artifacts mainly fall into two categories: ceramics and kiln tools. Identifiable ceramic forms include bowls, plates, and others. Glaze colors consist of white, green, and brownish-red, with white glaze being the most common. Kiln tools mainly comprise padding tubes, padding rings, padding boards, clay discs, and padding strips, with only a small number of supporting pegs. The Yutang Kiln Site holds significant importance for studying the commodity circulation and cultural exchange between the Chengdu Plain and the northwestern Sichuan Plateau, as well as the interactions between the Han ethnic group and the Tibetan-Qiang peoples in Sichuan. It is also recognized as one of the birthplaces of underglaze color techniques, boasting high historical and scientific value.

It serves as a gateway to the Aba Tibetan-Qiang Autonomous Prefecture and an important node along the golden tourist routes to Qingcheng Mountain, Huanglong, Jiuzhaigou, and Siguniang Mountain. The village lies along the western Sichuan tourism loop and near Bao Ping Avenue. Within the village, Wolniu Mountain connects to “God of Wealth” Zhao Gong Mountain.
