Otherwise known as the '13 Tombs, 'this is the burial site of 13 out of 17 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. However, the only one you can get a good look at is the tomb of Emperor Wanli, who reigned from 1573 to 1620. This tomb was unearthed in 1956. There are two others that have been uncovered, but the rest remain illusive. Leave a Comment

However, the most disappointing aspect of my visit here was to discover that most of the priceless treasures are no longer inside the tomb. Shucks! And to think I was cherishing the hope of bringing home some uncut jade....

After exploring Emperor Wan Li's tomb (9 floors below), you may also wish to check out the surrounding areas... which is really quite captivating. Oh, and that's me... having a whale of a time here... playing with snow.
P.S. Where I live, there aren't any snow at all. We see sunshine 365 days a year... So, this is definitely a novelty to me.

Anyone who plan to take a tour to Ming Tombs and Great Wall, please ask the tour leader or make sure that he/she will take you to the building as shown on the brochure.
We were trully ripped-off by the tour leader who took us to a different building. He didn't take us to the building where the tombs really are or the gate with lion statues along the way.
CTS (China Travel Service Head Office) was really disappointed us. We travelled from the other side of the globe to see Ming Tombs, and look what we visited: only a museum.
We travelled to several cities in Asia countries prior visited China. This tour was the worse tour we ever had.
CTS = Certainly and Trully Suck.

I'd give this one a B. If you have the time its probably worth a visit. If you are short then Forbidden City, Greatwall, Temple of Heaven and a half day walk around dowtown are much more rewarding. Sure its the toombs of emerors but all you see is a big hole in the ground and some replica displays. But we had the time and came and saw.

Probably something that could be skipped unless you were absolutely into the Ming Dynasties. Beautiful area and plenty of information in multiple languages, but definitely not as awe inspiring as other things in Beijing.

The ming tombs - a bit outside of Beijing but a good day trip. Leave a Comment
