Mausoleum of Emperor Minh Mang

The Ming Ming Emperor's Mausoleum started construction in 1840. The Ming ordered the emperor to change Jinji Mountain into Xiaoshan Mountain, and called the mausoleum Xiaoling Mausoleum. In January 1841, the construction work was not completed when the Ming Ming emperor died. One month after Emperor Shaozhi ascended the throne, he immediately ordered the construction of the Xiaoling Mausoleum to continue according to his father's drawing. On August 20, 1841, the body of the Emperor Mingming was transported to Baocheng for burial, but construction was not completed until early 1843. The Ming Ming emperor's mausoleum starts from Dahongmen and ends at the foot of Luocheng behind the mausoleum. And Xiandemen is the beginning of the sleeping hall area. Chong'en Hall is located in the middle, surrounded by left and right side halls and left and right pine houses. Passing through Hongzemen, you will arrive at Minglou. The majesty and serenity of the building, coupled with the natural beauty of flowers and trees, has fully reflected the emperor's stern character, profound knowledge and romantic feelings. The Ming Emperor Mausoleum is a relatively magnificent royal tomb, with a particularly symmetrical building in the open area. It is more appropriate to say that this is a large park than a mausoleum. The entire mausoleum covers a vast area, but there are not many buildings. Walking through it, surrounded by lush greenery, it is like walking in a park.
