Itinerary

Eastern Royal Tombs of the Qing Dynasty (Qing Dong Ling)

Meet your guide at 8am in the lobby of your hotel and drive around 2.5 hours to the Eastern Qing Tombs. With a history of more than 300 years, the 161 emperors, empresses, concubines, princes and princesses of the Qing Dynasty were buried in these 15 mausoleums. A golf cart will shuttle you around the vast complex, stopping at three of the most impressive sites.

Yuling Tomb: tomb of Emperor Qianlong, the most competent Qing Emperor ([ ]) and the most famous emperor in Chinese history.

Dongling Tomb: tomb of the notorious Empress Dowager Cixi ([ ]) who ruled China for 48 years. Her tomb is famous for its luxurious decoration.

Sacred Way of Xiaoling: a 6km long road starts from the widest stone archway in China, with beautifully carved figures of lions, Kylin and clouds. There are also 18 pairs of exquisitely sculptured giant statues, which served as guardians of the emperor's afterlife.
