　　Su Qin's Tomb, also known as the Tomb of the Chancellor Su, is located in Nansu Village, Zichuan Economic Development Zone. The tomb mound stands about 5 to 6 meters high with a diameter of 40 meters, covering an area of approximately 1,000 square meters. The gravesite is planted with locust trees, poplars, pines, and cypresses, all covered with green grass. In 2002, a new stone stele was erected in Nansu Village, surrounded by protective railings adorned with everlasting flower reliefs. The stele is 2 meters high and 1 meter wide. The front side is horizontally inscribed with "Glory of the Universe" and vertically with "Tomb of Chancellor Su of the Six States of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty: Posthumous Name: Qin, Courtesy Name: Jizi." The back side features an epitaph titled "Inscription for Su Qin's Tomb Stele," meticulously composed by Mr. Wang Weizhi, the Elder, Master of the Snow-White Studio, which details the achievements and historical assessment of Su Qin.
