Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, Ancient tomb on Qiao Mountain in Huangling County, China
The mausoleum complex encompasses 333 hectares with 60,000 cypress trees, two main sections for the tomb and Xuanyuan Temple, and stone monuments.
Dating back to 442 BCE, the site received its first recorded offerings and later became a national shrine during the Tang Dynasty in 770 CE.
Each year, ceremonial offerings take place at the mausoleum to honor the Yellow Emperor, considered the ancestor of Chinese civilization.
Located one kilometer from Huangling County town, the mausoleum stands 3.6 meters high with a 48-meter circumference surrounded by brick walls.
Among the thousands of ancient cypress trees, some specimens reach over 1,000 years in age, creating a natural border around the sacred grounds.
