Group of Ancient Tombs at Bailou

　　The Group of Ancient Tombs at Bailou is situated within a range of 2 to 5 kilometers south and southeast of the county town, stretching north to the ring road, south to Qili River, and east to Bamen Village, near the Ma'anzhong mound west of Nanbailou Village, covering an area of approximately 10 square kilometers. In 1983, villagers from Nanbailou and other nearby villages, lured by antique dealers, illegally excavated 751 ancient tombs exposed in 26 soil extraction sites such as kiln yards, pits, wastelands, and riverbanks. Over 10,000 unearthed cultural relics were later recovered. Among them, those identified as first-class relics include a Warring States period bronze sword inlaid with gold and inlaid with silver for the King of Yue, a diamond-shaped silver-plated bronze sword, and a Han dynasty jade belt hook carved with dragon motifs; second-class relics include a Spring and Autumn period ??, Han dynasty bronze tripod, celadon double-handled porcelain pot, and porcelain jar. In 1984, the area was delineated, boundary markers were installed, and it was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection zone. In 1988, it was announced as a county-level cultural relics protection unit.
