4.0Fuling Tomb(32 reviews) - A Nice Escape from the City Tuesday: 6:30 AM - 4:30 PM Historic Sites • Monuments & Statues
The tombs, more commonly known as the East Tomb Park (Dong Ling Gong Yuanr), are a great outing from the city. Just a few kms outside of the third ring road, the park is wooded and lush. The tomb sits at the back of the park and is an earthen mound. Several 17th century Chinese structures were built on top of a hill just before the tomb, as sites where no doubt ceremonies to honor the emporer were held. The structures are similar to those in Beijing's Ming Tombs, but on a smaller scale. Quite interesting. The walkway to the tomb is lined with Chinese mythological creatures and other animal statues, much like the Ming tombs. The park is a great place to visit an ancient Chinese artifact of national renown and also have an outing in the woods. You can hike through the woods along various paths. Kids will enjoy the outdoors, where their imaginations will let them become warriors or emporers hunting the enemy in the woods.See more..
4.0China and North Korea Folk Cultural Center(1 review) - North Korea and China claim to be close allies, but this place is empty Spent 1-2 hours Points of Interest & Landmarks • Monuments & Statues
I had some down time on a recent border trip and wanted to see the Korean War Museum of China. I have been to the one in Seoul and the one in Pyongyang-- how many people can say that. There is only one in China, but it is not this place. The Museum has been under renovation for some time so my colleague and I settled on this center to recognize the friendship between North Koreans and China. The focus, of course, is on the Korean war 1950-53 where the intervention of China in late fall of 1950 pushed UN forces back and allowed for a negotiated truce still in place today. This center focuses on artwork by North Koreans much of which labelled with a price tag. The themes are stories of camaraderie during the war and how well North Koreans and Chinese got along. A healthy dose of Socialist Realism art is available as well. That means farm scenes and factory scenes that are over the top abundant or clean or just good. Better than reality is Socialist Reality which only exists in art. Nobody was here. We paid the guard to enter 50RMB each, steep for a museum in China, and he walked behind us shutting off the lights in each room as we finished. Gift shop had lots of things, some from North Korea, much from China about North Korea, The "Help Korea fight America" liquor set, bottled in replica hand grenades would have been my purchase, but no way to carry that through security on the train. Most staff spek no Korean, but one of the smaller guest shops has North Korean people at work, paining and embroidering by hand. Fake NK pins with pictures of the leadership were pulled out and shown, but are not normally on display.See more..
