The Taipingzhuang Site Cluster is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

Period: Xia to Shang

The Taipingzhuang Site Cluster is located on a hill north of Taipingzhuang Natural Village, Chengzi Township, Songshan District, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It is a cultural site dating from the Xia to the Shang dynasties and represents a relatively concentrated and well-preserved settlement site of the Xiajiadian culture type within the Banzhijian River basin. The cluster consists of six sites: Miaodongshan Site, Laoyemiao Houshan Site, Taipingzhuang Houshan Site, Shilazi Site, and Daiwangshan Site. These sites are distributed across six closely located hills, complementing each other while each possessing unique features.

In May 2013, it was designated as part of the seventh batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units by the State Council.
