Tomb of the King of Boni, Royal burial site in Yuhuatai District, Nanjing, China.

The tomb includes stone sculptures of generals and animals along a path leading to a round mound surrounded by granite blocks.

Built during the Ming Dynasty under Emperor Yongle, this tomb contains the remains of Abdul Majid Hassan who died in Nanjing in 1408.

The site represents diplomatic relations between China and Boni, a medieval state on Borneo, through architectural elements and ceremonial spaces.

Located at Number 9 Weijiu Road of Huacun, the tomb occupies 17 hectares of parkland with additional facilities including a China-Brunei Friendship Hall.

This burial ground stands as one of only two foreign rulers' tombs in China, featuring traditional Ming Dynasty construction methods and design principles.
