A walled town of the late Neolithic Longshan culture in Guchengzhai village, Quliang town, east of Xinmi, whose rammed-earth walls still stand 5–16 m high on the south, north and east sides, with gaps marking two gates and traces of the moat. The west wall was washed away by the Zhen River, and excavations inside found the foundations of a large palace hall with surrounding corridors.
