About Qijiang Cliff Tombs
The hills around Qijiang, an old town in southern Santai County on the site of the ancient state of Qi, hold a large group of Han-dynasty tombs cut into the cliffs, with more than 1,600 recorded. Part of the Jinzhongshan group, on the hillside at the western end of the old town, is open to visitors, and the town's old streets are worth a stroll.
