Description
Discover the secrets buried deep beneath the earth at the Dingling Tomb (Ming Tombs).
The Ming Tombs area is vast, and many visitors get confused about which tomb to visit. Dingling is the highlight because it is the only one where you can actually enter the burial chamber. This service ensures a smooth trip. Located in Changping District (about 50km from downtown Beijing), you don't want to waste time queuing after a long drive. Your ID is registered directly with the park system so you can swipe your passport for instant access.
Walk through the heavy stone doors into the massive, vaulted chambers. See the three giant marble thrones and the replicas of the oversized red coffins and treasure chests containing gold and jade.
Before or after the underground tour, visit the museum on the grounds to see the stunning gold crowns, silk robes, and jewelry excavated from the tomb.
Above ground, explore the intricate Soul Tower and the sacrificial halls, showcasing classic Ming architecture. Explore at your own pace. Feel the cool air of the underground and imagine the grandeur of an empire that ended centuries ago.
