-- Xian Tomb of Ming Dynasty

Besides the Thirteen Tombs in Beijing, there is another tomb of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) called Xian Tomb in Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province. The tomb is for commemorating the father of Emperor Jia Jing. The father had been entitled a king in Zhongxiang City, and a tomb for him was built in 1540 after he died. It covers an area of about 600 mu, surrounded by vermilion wall with a perimeter of 3.6 km. In November 2000, Xian Tomb was included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List.

-- Dong Ling of Qing Dynasty

Located in Zunhua City to the east of Beijing, the Dong Ling (or Eastern Tombs) of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) is the largest and most complete one of its kind in China. There are altogether 5 emperors, 14 empresses (Xiao Zhuangwen, Rongfei, Cian, Cixi, etc.), 136 concubines buried in this peaceful land. Dong Ling was constructed in 1663 and built against the southern foot of Mt. Changrui. The site extends 125 km from south to north and 20 km from east to west with sacred roads. Dong Ling was put on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in November 2000.

-- Xi Ling of Qing Dynasty

Situated in Yixian County of Hebei Province, 120 kilometers southwest of Beijing, Xi Ling (or Western Tombs) of the Qing Dynasty are a complex of eternal sleeping chambers for 4 emperors and other imperial family members. Unlike previous dynasties, the Qing dynasty has two separate tomb complexes (the Eastern and Western Tombs). When Emperor Yongzheng's tomb was being constructed, poor geological conditions at the Eastern Tomb site and other factors led him to select the site of Xi Ling. Subsequent to Yongzheng's interment at Xi Ling, emperors of later generation alternated their burials between Dong Ling and Xi Ling. Xi Ling extends over 100 km, surrounded by a 21-km-long inside wall with a construction area of 500,000 sq km. It is the rest place for four emperors of Qing, Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang, Guangxu, and 9 empresses, 56 imperial concubines, and 76 princesses and dukes. Xi Ling was also included in the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List in November, 2000.
