  Located at the bottom of Cheqiao Reservoir in Yandun Town, Dongbao District. It is said to be the tomb of a King of Zhao from the Song Dynasty. The mound has a base diameter of about 26 meters and a remaining height of around 9 meters. A brick tomb chamber is exposed, designed in imitation of wooden architecture, consisting of a passageway, tomb door, front chamber, corridor, and rear chamber. The front and rear gates of the tomb door are made from large stones, each 1.8 meters high and 0.08 meters thick. The front chamber is square, with eight semi-circular columns, each 2 meters high, built at the corners. The rear chamber has an octagonal floor plan and also features eight columns. The interior contains murals in yellow, green, purple, and black. The bracket sets are of the one-bracket-two-jump intersecting type, divided into two types: column-top corner brackets and intercolumnar brackets. The tomb ceiling is constructed as a caisson dome, with eaves made from bluish-gray tiles. (First Batch)
