Xuecheng Site is located 15 kilometers south of Gu County in Shandong Province.
Xuecheng Site comprises the ruins of the capital city of the Xue State during the Eastern Zhou period (770-256BC).
Irregular in shape, the city has a perimeter of 10,615 meters, and the winding city wall is about four to seven meters high. The palace site is located in the center of the city. In the city’s northeast corner are two huge earth tombs believed to be the graves of Mengchang and his father, Tian Ying of the Warring States period (475-221BC). In recent years a number of bronze ware from the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were unearthed around the city site. Also discovered at the site was an iron-casting site from Han Dynasty (206BC-220AD) with a large amount of carved iron.
