Xianling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty
Xianling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty, Imperial mausoleum in Zhongxiang City, China
The Xianling Tomb features stone sculptures, ceremonial paths, and multiple structures spread across a carefully designed imperial burial ground in Hubei Province.
Built in 1425, this mausoleum contains the remains of the Hongxi Emperor, who served as the second ruler of the Ming Dynasty after the Hongwu Emperor.
The tomb's design follows traditional Chinese feng shui principles, incorporating stone animals, pavilions, and altars that reflect Ming Dynasty burial practices.
Visitors can reach the UNESCO World Heritage Site through transportation links to Zhongxiang City, where guided tours explain the tomb's architectural elements.
The Spirit Way entrance path contains numerous stone statues meant to guard the imperial grave site from negative spiritual forces.
