Tomb of the Yelü Qi Family

Tomb of the Yelü Qi Family

The Tomb of the Yelü Qi Family is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

The Tomb of the Yelü Qi Family is situated on the eastern side of Chaoketu Mountain in Hansumu Sumu, Ar Horqin Banner, about 2 kilometers west of the Tomb of the Yelü Yu Family. In July 1993, during the excavation of the Yelü Yu Tomb, signs of tomb robbery were detected at this location, leading to the prompt dispatch of personnel for rescue and clearance work. The tomb site is backed by a high mountain and faces the southeast. In the middle of a gentle slope, there is a small raised ridge, flanked by low stone walls on both sides—the northern wall is 67 meters long, 1.7 meters wide, and 0.5 meters high (remaining height), while the southern wall is 22 meters long, 1.7 meters wide, and 0.8 meters high (remaining height). Within the over 20,000-square-meter tomb area densely covered with vegetation, five large and medium-sized tombs that are relatively easy to identify have been found, along with one tomb whose remains are unclear.
