  Zhangcun Tomb Cluster (Fourth Batch Provincial Protected Site)

    Era: Eastern Zhou Dynasty

    Address: South of Zhangcun, Beixiang Town, Yanhu District

    Beixiang Town was historically known as Xiangcheng, also called Xiangli. It got its name when Shili, a noble of the Jin state who was executed by Duke Xian of Jin, had his youngest son flee here with the Shi family. His descendants settled, thrived, and were eventually buried here. The tomb area spans 1,000 meters from north to south and 1,500 meters from east to west, covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters, with large-scale noble tombs discovered. Artifacts such as bronze ware and jade items have been unearthed.

The Zhangcun Tomb Cluster is a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
