Xinglongwa, a Neolithic culture in northeastern China, found mainly around the Inner Mongolia-Liaoning border, begins in about 6200.

It is the earliest archaeological culture in China to feature jade objects and to depict dragons.

Xinglongwa pottery is primarily cylindrical, and baked at low temperatures.

The type-site at Xinglongwa is located on the southwest side of a hill at Aohan Banner, Chifeng, Inner Mongolia; the site is named after a village 1.3 km to the southeast of the site.

One hundred and twenty pit-houses were discovered at Xinglongwa.

Each home had a hearth at its center.

Xinglongwa also featured a large building in the center of the village.

Xinglongwa is the earliest discovered site in China to be surrounded by a ditch.

Xinglongwa also featured an unusual burial custom, as some bodies were buried directly under the houses.

Like other Xinglongwa sites, jade objects were also discovered.

In the most lavish grave, a man was buried with a pair of pigs, as well as jade objects.
