Western Qing Tombs, Hebei, China
4.5 (32 reviews) Thursday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Spent 2-3 hours Ranking #1 in Yi County Ancient Ruins • Cemeteries
Huge Complex of multiple Qing Dynasty Tombs
The Western Qing tombs received far fewer visitors than the Eastern Qing tombs or the Ming Tombs. The tomb site itself is huge, and a driver is needed to go between the different tombs. Tai Ling tomb is the biggest and most impressive tombs, with a processional avenue over a mile longs. Chang Ling tomb has an impressive echo wall, where anything you say is bounced back seven times. Much of Chang Ling tomb was closed, but this meant the the whole place was abandoned. It was great to get photos of huge marble statues, bridges and processional roads without a single individual in sight. Chong Ling tomb has an impressive underground vault with huge carved doors. You can still see the holes were treasure hunters and tomb robbers broke their way in. Mu Ling tomb is small, and was being repaired when I visited. Yong fu temple is a scenic change to the numerous tombs.
