The Yanjialiang Site

The Yanjialiang Site is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

Era: Yuan Dynasty

The Yanjialiang Site is located in Maci Town, Jiuyuan District, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, covering a total area of 400,000 square meters. It was first excavated in the 1950s, yielding findings such as porcelain pestles for grinding, glazed pots, and round pig iron blocks. Preliminary assessments suggest that the Yanjialiang Site was a town of Yunneizhou during the Dade era of the Yuan Dynasty. Due to its location near the Yellow River and its connection between the Tumochuan Plain and the Hetao Plain, it was likely a bustling hub for both water and land transport at the time.

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