Yuling Mausoleum, Imperial burial structure in Shisanling, China.

Yuling Mausoleum is the burial complex of Emperor Yingzong (Zhu Qizhen) at the foot of Shimen Mountain, south of Tianshou Mountain in Changping, Beijing. Its spirit path runs 538 zhang and 7 chi, leading to a three-bay Hall of Eminent Favors, a five-bay front hall, and a three-bay Ling'en Gate, with 2,684 pines planted around the enclosure.

Yingzong died in early 1464, and work on Yuling began on 29 February 1464 under eunuchs Huang Fu and Wu Yi, with over 80,000 soldiers, labourers and carpenters. The emperor's body was placed in the tomb on 8 May 1464 and the whole complex was finished by 12 June, less than four months. It was repaired between 1785 and 1787 under the Qing emperor Qianlong.

The site displays traditional Chinese architectural elements with stone statues of officials and animals positioned along the spirit way. These figures reflect the beliefs and social hierarchy that defined imperial burial practices.

The site is located approximately 42 kilometers from central Beijing and is accessible to visitors through designated pathways and entrance gates. Plan to spend adequate time exploring the various sections and structures scattered across the grounds.

The complex preserves a distinctive arrangement of stone statues and relief carvings that showcase craftsmanship rarely seen in other burial sites of the period. These artworks represent techniques that have become uncommon in modern practice.
