The Shicheng Palace Ruins were discovered in 1981, with several excavations conducted in 1983, 1990, and 2000. A total of six ash pits were found, containing mainly fragments of tiles, tile ends, and bricks. At multiple locations along exposed cliff edges within the water facility ruins area, the tops of clay water pipes were visible, indicating an intricate underground drainage system. Nearly 500 fragments of various types of tile ends were discovered. There was a wide variety of bricks, including hollow bricks, paving bricks, strip bricks, and facing bricks, most of which were broken fragments with few intact pieces. The pottery is light gray in color, mixed with fine sand, and has a hard texture.
In May 2013, it was listed as part of the seventh group of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level.
