Ancient Tombs at Longtou Mountain, Royal burial complex at Longtou Mountain, China.
The ancient tombs spread across three burial zones called Dragon Lake, Dragon Sea, and Princess Jeonghyo's Mausoleum area on Longtou Mountain in Helong.
Construction of these royal tombs began after 745 CE when King Mun moved the Balhae kingdom capital to Junggyeong and continued until the kingdom's end.
The mausoleum structures combine architectural elements from the Goguryeo and Tang dynasties, demonstrating the cultural exchanges between different civilizations in ancient Northeast Asia.
Visitors can access the tombs through local tour arrangements in Helong city, with guided tours available to explain the historical context of this national heritage site.
The Mausoleum of Princess Jeonghyo contains the earliest complete set of Balhae murals, discovered alongside gold ornaments and an epitaph dating to July 792.
