Li Gong Cliff Tombs

The Li Gong Cliff Tombs are a cultural tourism attraction.

The Li Gong Cliff Tombs are located in a cliff cave on the northern side of Jiuliantang Village, Huashan Township, Shixing County. This is a burial site from the Ming and Qing dynasties where coffins were placed inside cliff caves. The cave is 30 meters long, 2.5 meters high, and 2.5 meters deep, with its entrance facing south. There are 12 cave tombs and 10 brick-chambered tombs. The entrances of the cave tombs are sealed with blue bricks, and one of them features three coffins laid side by side, painted with vermilion patterns. The brick-chambered tombs are situated in front of the cave tombs, with most of their front sections protruding beyond the rock ledge. They include both single and double chambers. The seals above the entrances bear inscriptions such as “Li Family Tomb,” “Autumn of the Gui-Si Year of the Wanli Era” (1593), “The 30th Year of the Qianlong Reign” (1765), and “The 13th Year of the Guangxu Reign” (1887).
