Located in Dingtao County of Shandong Province, Han Dynasty Tomb in Lingsheng Lake is the largest Timber-chambered tomb in Shandong. The tomb looks like the Chinese character "Jia." The complicated design and delicate buildings hints that it belongs to one of the princes in the Western Han Dynasty living some 2000 years ago.

Unfortunately, more than 30 robber holes were found in the tomb, and it has lost many of its more valuable relics. Archeologists have unearthed porcelain, copper, bronze and iron swords. According to the initial archeological research, archaeologists think it may belong to Liu Kang, Prince Gong of the Western Han Dynasty.
