Xituanshan, Archaeological site in Jilin, China.

The Xituanshan site spans across a granite mountain west of Jilin City, containing nine stone cist tombs on its southwest slope.

Archaeological excavations at Xituanshan began in the 1930s under Japanese archaeologist Mikami Tsugio and Chinese archaeologist Li Wenxin.

The discoveries at Xituanshan include stone tools, pottery, bronze items, jade axes, and ornamental materials made from deer antler and pig tusks.

The site received designation as a Major National Historical and Cultural Site by the Chinese government in 2001, requiring visitors to obtain permits.
