Zhao Mausoleum, Tang dynasty mausoleum in Shaanxi, China

The complex spans across Jiuzong Mountain and contains the burial site of Emperor Taizong along with approximately 200 accompanying tombs within its grounds.

Construction of the mausoleum commenced in 636 following the death of Empress Zhangsun, marking a significant period in Tang dynasty architectural development.

The stone reliefs of Six Steeds represent military achievements, with four pieces displayed at Xi'an's Stele Forest Museum and two at Pennsylvania University Museum.

The mausoleum features designated pathways that guide visitors through the grounds while preserving the archaeological integrity of the surrounding structures.

The site contains numerous paintings depicting Tang Imperial guards and officers, providing direct evidence of military organization during this period.
