  These are historically significant but keeping each emperor in order and separate from the others is a monumental task

  Very nice part of the wall, not many people when we went on a Friday. The unrestored part left and right of the stretch taken by most is most beautiful, so venture 'the wrong way' for a while! Don't take the cable car, the walk...More

  Tombs of 13 emperors from Ming dynasty, about two them accessible for public. Nice, but not a must see, especially if you have already seen or plan to see Forbidden City. Visits are usually combined with a trip to the Great Wall.

  Came here as part of a tour. The tombs are definitely interesting but noting special. The area is very remote with some beautiful scenery, the tombs are relatively quiet compared to most other tourist areas. It was interesting to see how they have separated the...More

  The Ming tombs are only 70km outside Beijing but the traffic is still appalling even on Saturday. It was another foggy overcast day. The Ming tombs were ok. The park and entrance to the Ming dynasty 13th and 3rd emperor tombs were better than what...More
