First you will walk along the sacred way of the Ming tombs.The Sacred Way is part of the Ming Tombs complex. It is a long, straight path flanked by statues first of ancient government officials and then by animals. The Sacred Way ends at a pavilion sheltering a stone tablet.
Then Visit the Ding Ling at Ming tombs.Ming tombs was listed as World Culture Heritage which was surrounded by mountains.Dingling is the only emperor’s tomb open to the public .
Visit the Changling at the Ming tombs.Changling Tomb in Beijng, the largest and the most completely preserved tomb among the Thirteen Tombs of Ming Dynasty, Because of its grand ancient architecture, brilliant culture and long history, the site is one of the most significant attractions in Beijing.
There are thirteen imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty scattered over an area of forty square kilometers in Changping District to the northwest of Beijing. Construction of the necropolis spanned more than two hundred years, almost throughout the entire Ming Dynasty: The first tomb was built in 1409, and the last one in 1644.The layout of each mausoleum is different, but the thirteen tombs still have nearly the same general arrangements. Each mausoleum, called a “palace,” is surrounded by vermilion walls. Through each “palace” gate is the Gate of Prominent Favor leading to the Hall of Prominent Favour where sacrifices were offered by emperors, empresses and officials to the deceased emperors. Of all the Ming tombs, only the Hall of Prominent Favor in Changling is still in excellent condition. The hall was constructed throughout of nanmu (a fine hard-wood). Each large supporting pillar was made of a single trunk. The pillars are so large they take three people to encircle hand in hand. This kind of large nanmu is rarely seen in China.
The area chosen as an auspicious site for the imperial burial grounds was not only beautiful of scenery, but also in an excellent position from a military perspective as the mountains provided a natural defense for the area, as well as for the capital.
