Qianling Mausoleum, Imperial mausoleum in Qian County, China

The Qianling Mausoleum extends along a 4.9-kilometer axis on Mount Liang, featuring ceremonial halls, corridors, and stone statues of court officials.

Built in 684 CE, this tomb complex houses Emperor Gaozong of Tang and Empress Wu Zetian, marking a significant period of Chinese imperial architecture.

The mausoleum contains 17 satellite tombs with 4,300 artifacts, including tomb murals that document Tang Dynasty artistic traditions and social customs.

Located 76 kilometers from Xian, the site charges different entrance fees for peak season (March-November) and off-season (December-February) visitors.
