Ming Zuling, Imperial ancestral tomb complex in Xuyi County, China
Ming Zuling extends over 351,000 square meters, featuring burial mounds, stone statues, and more than 9,700 trees along its sacred pathways.
Built between 1386 and 1413, the mausoleum contains the remains of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather Zhu Chuyi and memorializes ancestors of the Ming Dynasty.
The mausoleum design incorporates traditional Chinese principles with ceremonial paths, stone animal statues, and architectural elements representing imperial power.
The site includes protective embankments rising 15 meters high to shield the structures from flooding caused by the nearby Huai River and Hongze Lake.
Submerged by floods in 1680, the mausoleum remained hidden underwater until drought conditions in the 1960s revealed ancient structures along the shoreline.
