Beijing Municipal Cultural Relics Protection Unit. It is located in Huaxiang, Fengtai District, southwest of Beijing. Excavations were conducted between 1974 and 1975, and it was discovered that the tomb of King Yan (or King Guangyang) of the Western Han Dynasty and his queen's tomb were both large wooden coffin tombs. The king's tomb faced south and was an earth pit tomb with a vertical pit; the upper opening of the tomb was 26.8 meters long from north to south and wide from east to west. 21.2 meters, the bottom opening is 23.2 meters long, 18 meters wide, and 4.7 meters deep. There is a tomb passage more than 30 meters long to the south. The tomb is a wooden structure building, consisting of a tomb passage, a corridor, an outer corridor, an inner corridor, a front room and a back room. The center of the tomb is Zi Gong, Bian Fang and Huang Chang Ti Cou. The coffin has five layers, two coffins and three coffins. Huang Chang Ti Cou is made up of more than 15,800 cypress wood cubes measuring 10 cm x 10 cm x 90 cm. This scale of underground palace of the princes and kings of the Western Han Dynasty is unearthed for the first time in China. The well-preserved burial remains of chariots and horses are also the only ones seen in the country. It is now the Dabaotai Western Han Dynasty Tomb Museum.
