   Been there with my Chinese friends as one of my friend suggested me to visit there because it's her hometown, so we decided to visit this place... It's a very famous place in Qianling, the special thing is it's on the top of the mountain, from where you can see spectacular view of all city... We enjoyed a lot. If you're near this place, recommended to visit with friends or with family but be physically prepare for walking or trekking... Sharing some pictures with you with title "Dev Mehra at Qian Mausoleum, Qianling. See more..

   - Qianling: a place for a great empress Wu Zetian
   Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM History Museums
   
   
   Recently I visited Qianling. It is the mausoleum (grave) of the great former empress Wu Zetian and her husband the emperor Li). She was the only empress in China. She married to emperor Li Shimin first. After the emperor passed way, she married to the son of Li Shimin (it was common at that time and that area) and then became the empress. She was a smart woman with courage and wisdom. It is a nice place to walk for a few hours. Because it is not too close to big cities, it is not full with tourists yet. See more..
   
3. 4.0 Yongtia Princess Tomb (12 reviews)
   - Incredible Tang Dynasty frescos
   Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Ancient Ruins • Cemeteries
   
   
   It helps to know the history of Empress/Emperor Wu Zetian (625-705 AD) before seeing the tombs of Princess Yongtai and Princess Zhang Hua. The first-mentioned princess died (was murdered?) at age 17 after childbirth, supposedly for gossiping about Wu Zetian and her "boy toys." After her death, she was buried in an elaborate underground tomb, whose entryway was decorated with elaborate Tang-period frescoes. It is one of the most impressive of the tombs in the area. The tomb is approached by a sloping corridor (not for those with problems walking up or down a 10 degree slope); en route to the sepulchre, Tang pottery vases, figures, Sancai horses, and other items showing life during this dynastic period are found in small niches. Some of the original frescoes have been removed (and replicated) and now are in the National Museum. The replicas are fading and flaking away due to humidity. However, they are marvelous, giving a clear picture of women's hairstyles, costumes, court figures, and activities. The Princess Zhang Hua's tomb close by, is very similar. The approach is longer, but not quite as steep. A tour of these tombs can easily be combined with a visit to Wu Zetian's Mausoleum (Qianling) where she and her spouse, Emperor Gaozong, are buried.

4. 4.0 Yidetaizi Tomb (8 reviews)
   - 可以走入墓道的太子陵墓
   Wednesday: 7:55 AM - 6:00 PM Historic Sites
   
   
   懿德太子墓是乾陵的陪葬墓，距離乾陵與乾陵博物館永泰公主墓不遠，最好開車前來十分鐘就到了景區也有擺渡車。
   懿德太子為唐中宗長子李重潤，高宗和武則天之孫，死時只有19歲。墓地行製為太子標準，分為墓道過洞天井小龕前後甬道。墓道用紅褐色土夯築，兩側牆上有壁畫，過洞上也有壁畫。不過現在已經斑駁不堪，有的已經剝走放到陝歷博了。
   最神奇的就是走在墓道和過洞裡的感覺，猶如穿越，也是國內少有的可以直接走下去的帝王陪葬陵了。
   走到最後墓室可見石淳一具，可以通過手觸摸一下下石淳外面，冰冰涼涼超級感觸。感嘆下古代帝王將相家的殘酷和歷史的風雲，強烈建議腦補和愛好歷史的人進來。
   旁邊的博物館也要看看裡面簡介了太子生平和出土的的一些文物三彩馬雕像金錢珠寶等，建議先看博物館再到墓道裡感受。 See more..
   
5. 4.0 Zhanghuai Prince Tomb (7 reviews)
   - 乾陵陪葬墓之一
   Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM Ancient Ruins • Cemeteries
   
   
   章怀太子墓距离永泰公主墓不远，车程一两分钟就到了。一般都比较侧重永泰公主墓和懿德太子墓，所以章怀太子墓略冷清凄凉。章怀太子墓内的结构和永泰公主是一样的，所以一般旅社都会说选择一两个参观即可。也是主墓室的前室的顶是圆的，象征天圆地方，后室放棺材。可惜由于时间关系没有去到懿德太子墓，此行的唯一遗憾了。 See more..
