The Ancient Xing Kiln Site is located in Neiqiu County of Hebei Province, dating from the Sui Dynasty to The Five Dynasties (581 - 960). It was a famous kiln site in northern China in ancient times for its white porcelain production.

More than 200,000 porcelain pieces and fragments have been unearthed, and among them, complete and recoverable relics number more than 2000. Relics feature a variety of types, including pottery, porcelain, bronze, iron and kiln furniture. In addition, the site's kilns are the earliest among the unearthed Xing Kilns so far.
