Kiln 1 is located on the easternmost margin of the Shifangtang Site. Prior to official excavation in 2005, what remained of Kiln 1 had a height of 8 meters—making it one of the tallest kilns at the Shifangtang Site surviving to the present. The eastern and southern sides of the kiln are strewn with workshops built from between the early Tang Dynasty era to the late Southern Song Dynasty era. These contain a myriad of mud storage tanks, glaze vats, glaze extraction sites, wells, and other relics. The main clay collection area for china is located along the northern side. A well-preserved Song Dynasty dragon kiln has been excavated on the western side of Kiln 1. With a total length of 42 meters, it includes a workspace barrier in front of the kiln entrance and a stepped barrier protecting the chimney at the rear of the kiln. The kiln floor has a slope of 15 to 17 degrees, which stands out as the most scientific gradient among China’s ancient sloped dragon kilns. This dragon kiln has undergone at least seven major renovations. It was the most important large-scale kiln in operation at the time.

Kiln 5 is located in the central area of the Shifangtang site. It is where the core production facilities of the ancient Qiong kiln of Shifangtang were located. In the 1930s, the Shifangtang Site suffered severe damage when a warlord ordered that it be looted. In 1984, archaeological excavation of the Shifangtang Site began here first, with Kiln 5. During the six-year archeological excavation, six dragon kilns and dome kilns were unearthed at Kiln 5. Also, porcelain manufacturing sites such as winch pits and glazed vats as well as tens of thousands of cultural relics were unearthed, among which were the "Linqiong" Cup, the Shuangliu Kettle, the Fuel-Efficient Lamp, and the "Gande Year 6" Inscription Mould. In 1986, more than 900 square meters of architectural relics from the Tang Dynasty were unearthed in this area, making this a major archaeological discovery for the whole country. In the same year, the Shifangtang Qiong Kiln Historic Site was listed as a Key Cultural Relics Site of Sichuan under Special Protection. In 1988, the Qiong Kiln Historic Site was included in the list of the third round of National Key Cultural Relics Sites under Special Protection.
