Ming Tombs

While in Beijing we visited the Ming Tombs.

Thirteen of the 16 Ming Dynasty emperors have mausoleums at the Ming Tombs. The tomb of the Dragon Lady is also located at the Ming Tombs. Her tomb was dynamited open by thieves in 1928. They stole the jewels that were buried with her.
This is the path to the Ming Tombs. The center path is for spirits. The right path is for living emperors. The left path is for ministers.

I still haven’t determined which path is appropriate for me.
