Yu the Great mausoleum
Yu the Great mausoleum, National cultural monument in Kuaiji Mountain, China.
The Yu the Great mausoleum spans across mountain slopes with ancient architectural structures, including a memorial temple and ceremonial pavilions.
Built in 545 during the Southern Dynasty, this cenotaph honors Yu the Great, who established the Xia Dynasty and developed water management systems.
The site includes multiple halls dedicated to ceremonial practices, reflecting traditional Chinese architectural elements and burial customs from different periods.
Located four kilometers southeast of Shaoxing city in Zhejiang province, the mausoleum complex contains several preserved buildings from the Qing Dynasty period.
A circular tapered burial stone near the Meridian Gate bears inscriptions from the Han Dynasty, marking the reported location of Yu's interment.
