MING TOMBS - CHINA
50 kilometers northwest from Beijing City lies the Ming Tombs - the general name given to the mausoleums of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644).
The mausoleums have been perfectly preserved, as has the necropolis of each of the many emperors.
Because of its long history, palatial and integrated architecture, the site has a high cultural and historic value.
The layout and arrangement of all thirteen mausoleums are very similar but vary in size as well as in the complexity of their structures.
