Brief Introduction :
Brief Introduction
The Western Qing Tombs are one of the groups of mausoleums of emperors from the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911), which twins with Eastern Qing Tombs.
It lies at the foot of the green and lofty Yongning Mountain in the north, about 15 kilometers (9.32 miles) west of County Yi, Hebei Province and 120 kilometers (74.56 miles) west of the capital Beijing.
The Western Qing Tombs incorporate fourteen royal mausoleums where seventy-eight royal members in all are buried. These include four emperors of the Qing Dynasty and their empresses, imperial concubines, princes and princesses, as well as other royal servants. The architecture fully displays the strict ranking system in the feudalistic society at that time. The main part of the Western Qing Tombs consists of the four emperors´ mausoleums -Tailing, Changling, Muling and Chongling.
The emperors´ are the largest among the whole group, which is successively followed by those of the empresses, concubines and others. Notably, the tops of the emperors´ and empress´ mausoleums are covered by yellow glazed tiles while those of other mausoleums are green. The Western Qing Tombs are one of the most important and valuable ancient mausoleums in Chinese history, and they are also listed in the World Cultural Heritage.
