Situated at the summit of Moke Ridge in Xiliuzhai Township of the county, the site spans an area of 347 square meters. A remaining ancient post station is still standing—its layout is rectangular, with a single stone cave on the front façade and a stone moon gate set into the east wall. Leading down the hill via the east moon gate is a remnant of an ancient bluestone path, over 3,000 meters of which still survives. Experts from the cultural relics survey team noted that the surviving section of the ancient road on Moke Ridge has a history of over a thousand years, dating back to the Qin Dynasty, although further research is needed to trace its full historical origins.
