Xi Han wuling, Ancient burial mounds near Xi'an, China.

The Xi Han wuling consists of nine tombs arranged in a specific pattern, including burial chambers of emperors, empresses, and high-ranking officials.

Construction of these mausoleums began in 139 BCE during the Western Han Dynasty, requiring substantial financial resources from the imperial court's annual revenue.

The burial practices exhibited in these mounds demonstrate the social hierarchy of ancient Chinese society through the size and arrangement of the tombs.

Visitors can examine archaeological discoveries and learn about ancient Chinese burial customs through informational displays positioned throughout the site.

The excavation of these mounds revealed over 4,100 artifacts, including the largest gilded horse ever discovered in China.
