Ancient tombs unearthed at Xiqianliu village, in Xingtai's Qiaoxi District, Hebei Province, China.
Chinese archaeologists have unearthed 18 ancient tombs while working on a water diversion project in Xingtai City, Hebei Province, China. Two of the tombs date back to the Yuan Dynasty (1206 AD -1368 AD) and had apparently been robbed of all their valuables. Previously a further 104 tombs spanning from the Warring States Period (475 BC - 221 BC) through to the Qing Dynasty have been found at this site.

Xingtai traces its origins back to the Shang Dynasty (1600 BC to 1046 BC). During the era when the Warring States tombs described above were constructed the city was the capital city for the Zhao Dynasty. Much damage occurred in the 1968 AD major earthquake which destroyed more than 5 million homes in the city and immediate region.
