Tomb of Zheng He, Memorial tomb in Niushou Mountain, Nanjing, China.
The tomb complex includes a memorial hall displaying navigation maps and paintings documenting the admiral's maritime achievements across Asia and Africa.
Constructed during the Ming Dynasty in 1435, the tomb serves as a cenotaph since Admiral Zheng He died at sea near Calicut in Western India.
The burial site incorporates Islamic architectural elements, reflecting Zheng He's Muslim heritage through Arabic inscriptions and traditional Islamic grave design.
Twenty-eight stone steps divided into four sections of seven steps lead visitors to the tomb, representing the admiral's seven naval expeditions.
The tomb contains personal items belonging to Admiral Zheng He, including his sword with Arabic inscriptions, despite his remains never being interred there.
