There's another tower closer to Xingcheng here: 40°30'53.59"N 120°36'46.45"E

Only the inner rammed earth part remains today, and only a few grey bricks on the ground show that this was once covered by bricks.

No.

Manzicao is located in Suizhong County.

Suizhong County is a part of Huludao City.

Huludao City is a part of Liaoning province, like Tangshan and Qinhuangdao is a part of Hebei province.

The tower is located a few km outside the city of Suizhong.

Maybe it would be more correct if the subdivision was something like:

Liaoning
Huludao
Suizong
Xingcheng
Hongluoshan should be in Huludao

Jinniudong, Shixiakou, Manzhicao and Zhuizishan should be in Suizhong.

With a bit of luck I will be able to add some Xingcheng locations later today.
