Dongshanzui Site

东山嘴遗址

A Hongshan culture ritual site on a ridge along the Daling River in Kazuo County, famous for its pottery figurine of a pregnant woman. It can be paired with Niuheliang on the same day.

The Dongshanzui Site sits on a ridge on the west bank of the Daling River, in Dongshanzui Village, Dacheng Subdistrict, Kazuo County. It is a Hongshan culture ritual site discovered in the late 1970s, featuring square and round stone-built foundations. Excavations have yielded pottery figurines of pregnant women and jade artifacts. It is a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. The site is modest in size, consisting mainly of open-air foundations and explanatory signs, which makes it suited to archaeology enthusiasts. It is about 5 kilometers from Kazuo County town and about 40 kilometers from Niuheliang, so the two can be combined in one day. Opening arrangements follow local notices.
