Ming Tombs Scenic Area, Beijing, China

The Ming Tombs Scenic Area is a national-level scenic spot, a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction, a national key cultural relic protection unit, and a world cultural heritage.

　　The Ming Tombs is short for the tombs of the thirteen emperors and empresses of the Ming Dynasty. It is located in a small basin under Tianshou Mountain in Changping County, about 44 kilometers northwest of Beijing, covering an area of about 40 square kilometers. Drive straight down from Deshengmen and pass through Shahe and Changping north to reach the Ming Tombs.

The architectural layout and regulations of the thirteen tombs are basically the same, with only slight differences in area, complexity, and simplicity. Among them, the tomb buried by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Changling, is the largest among the Ming Tombs. The Changling Mausoleum was built in the eleventh year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (1413). The main buildings in the tomb are Lingen Hall, Minglou and Baoding. Lingen Temple is the largest existing wooden structure in my country. Dingling Mausoleum is the sleeping place of Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun. It is the only tomb to be excavated in the Ming Tombs. The famous underground palace of Ming Tombs is here. Dingling Mausoleum was built in the twelfth year of Wanli (1584) on a grand scale, with more than 30,000 soldiers and craftsmen in service in that year. The excavation of underground palaces unearthed a large number of precious cultural relics, which became valuable materials for studying the history of the Ming Dynasty. Another Ming Tomb-Yongling, is the mausoleum of Ming Shizong Zhu Houcong. Although it is not as large as the Changling, it is exquisitely structured. Its main building, Minglou, is the highest among Ming Tombs.

　　 In addition to the above scenic spots for visitors to observe, there are also the famous Shipailou (the largest ancient stone workshop in my country) and the exquisite and lifelike stone elephants. The Ming Tombs Reservoir, built in 1958, added new luster to the Ming Tombs and became a good place for summer tourism. The ninth imperial tomb of the Ming Tombs, Zhaoling, also began to be repaired in 1985. The restoration was completed on November 1, 1989 and opened to the outside world. The Ming Tombs were one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units announced by the State Council in 1961.
