Qingling Mausoleum, Imperial mausoleum in Shisanling, China

The Qingling Mausoleum features stone pathways and ceremonial routes leading through a complex surrounded by mountains and natural landscapes.

Built during the Ming dynasty, this mausoleum forms part of the thirteen imperial tombs constructed following the guidance of the Yongle Emperor in 1420.

Stone sculptures and architectural elements throughout the complex demonstrate the burial traditions and ceremonial practices of Ming dynasty emperors.

The underground chambers contain three marble thrones arranged for the emperor and his consorts, along with various ceremonial artifacts.
