Jingtai Tomb, Imperial tomb in Qinglongqiao, China

The Jingtai Tomb contains a divine memorial stele inside a double-eaved structure, arranged across five distinct levels within a military retirement compound.

The mausoleum holds the remains of Zhu Qiyu, who ruled as the Jingtai Emperor from 1449 to 1457 after his brother was captured during the Tumu Crisis.

The burial site reflects Ming dynasty imperial traditions, with the tomb design indicating the reduced status of Zhu Qiyu following his demotion from emperor to prince.

The tomb sits within restricted military grounds northwest of the Summer Palace, requiring special authorization for visitors to access the historical site.

Despite being buried as a prince rather than an emperor, the divine merit stele at the entrance recognizes Zhu Qiyu with imperial status.
