  Xishuangzhong is located about 500 meters south of Wanlaozhuang in Zhengji Township, west of the county town. The 5th year of the Republic of China (1916) "Huaiyang County Annals" states: “One is to the west of the city, over ten feet high, consisting of just one mound, yet it is inexplicably known as the 'Twin Mounds.'” In November 1983, when local residents were digging soil, another mound was discovered to the south of the first, confirming the name "Twin Mounds." During a joint investigation and excavation by the county and local authorities, the northern mound was found to be a small brick-vaulted tomb that had been robbed in ancient times, yielding only two earthenware jars and one pot from the Eastern Han Dynasty. The southern mound covers an area of about 50 square meters and stands about 1 meter above the ground. It was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit in 1988.
