The Wubeiling Site is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Wubeiling Site is located behind Keshuli Village, Weixi, Huacheng Town, Wuhua County. It dates back to the Eastern Zhou period. Discovered in 1992, 410 square meters were excavated in 1993. A tomb was found on the western side of the hill, featuring a rectangular burial chamber with pottery grave goods such as jars, bowls, cups, and lids. The cultural layer on the southern slope of the hill reaches a maximum thickness of 1.5 meters. All unearthed artifacts are pottery, predominantly made of clay, including types such as urns, jars, bottles, bowls, cups, basins, cups, lids, pads, spinning whorls, pedestals, and animal figurines. Flat-bottomed vessels are more common, while concave-bottomed ones are rare. Decorative patterns include kui patterns, interlocking thunder patterns, cloud-and-thunder patterns, circular vortex patterns, grid patterns, fine grid patterns, woven patterns, diamond grid patterns, mat patterns, wavy patterns, dotted patterns, and string patterns, with some featuring combined designs. Carved symbols are frequently seen. The presence of pottery pads suggests the existence of pottery workshops here.
