  Fascinating place in China, we were able to visit on the way to the Great Wall and it was a really cool and educational visit. I would certainly love to come back to this part of China.

  This is a combo stop, including the Sacred way and the available tombs (only 2 out of 13 are open to visitors) of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. Tip: Walk the Sacred Way, which is very tranquil and a nice stroll (about a half-mile)...More

  The visit starts with the Sacred Way, an alley with statues guarding the burial way of the Emperors (hard to say if the guide's story that it symbolizes an imaginary realm between life and death has some basis, but stories are nice). The tombs (...More

  The Ming Tombs is composed of 13 Mausoleums and each is separately located away from one another. Some mausoleums can only be reached through a bus or a car. It is suggested that you choose the Mausoleum that you wanted to visit to save time....More

  an interesting stop, the building is what you visit, various pieces of clothing, etc. the tombs ly behind it, the area is known, the tombs location is not, as the construction workers were all killed after completion, so it is a sacred site.

  In reality you see a lot of Ming's statues, depictions, maps, garments and clothing but no Tombs. These you know they lay some half a mile from the entrance of the archaeological area. Still a 30 min stop is well recommended to be informed of...More
