Beijing Ming Tombs Tour

The Ming Tombs is the largest mausoleum group in the world located some 50 kilometers north of urban Beijing at a specially selected site. 13 of the 16 Ming Dynasty Emperors along with their empresses and concubines are buried in this area. Constructed from 1409 to 1644 AD, the Ming Tombs is the place to explore China's dynastic history and imperial culture. The most famous sites at the Ming Tombs are the Sacred Road - the main road leading into the tomb complexes - and the Dingling Tomb – the only tomb whose underground palace has ever been excavated, and the Changling Tomb - the largest and best preserved of the thirteen Ming Tombs
