Yuling Mausoleum, Imperial mausoleum in Zunhua, China

The Yuling Mausoleum contains underground chambers extending 54 meters in length, featuring stone arches and detailed Buddhist decorations throughout the structure.

Emperor Qianlong ordered the construction of this mausoleum between 1743 and 1752, creating a final resting place for himself, two empresses, and three concubines.

The interior chambers display extensive Buddhist imagery, including stone bodhisattvas and inscriptions in Sanskrit and Tibetan that reflect imperial religious practices.

Located 125 kilometers from Beijing, the mausoleum forms part of the Eastern Qing Tombs complex, which spans an area of 80 square kilometers.

In 1928, warlord Sun Dianying's troops raided the mausoleum, removing most underground artifacts and causing substantial damage to the imperial burial site.
