Song Tombs, Northern Song dynasty cemetery in Gongyi, China.
The Song Tombs contain eight imperial mausoleums spread across the towns of Xicun, Zhitian, and Huiguo in the Gongyi region of Henan Province.
Seven emperors of the Northern Song dynasty, including the father of the dynasty's founder, were interred at this location between 960 and 1127 CE.
The cemetery exhibits traditional Chinese architectural elements and burial practices through its arrangement of mausoleums, reflecting imperial customs of the Song period.
The cemetery complex at 84 Du Fu Road remains open throughout the year without admission fees, allowing visitors to explore the grounds extensively.
Each mausoleum within the complex bears the prefix 'Yong' in its name, such as Yong'an, Yongchang, and Yongxi, following imperial naming conventions.
