Dajinmen is located in the Mingxiao Mausoleum in Zhongshan Scenic Area, and is the first Zhengnan gate of Xiaoling. Mingxiao Mausoleum has a history of 600 years, many buildings no longer exist, and Dajinmen is one of the few buildings left.
Dajinmen, located in Zhongshan Scenic Area, is actually the main entrance of Guocheng outside Mingxiaoling, and it is also the first gate to officially enter the Ling District. It is not here from Xiamafang Ruins Park. Next to it is Mingxiaoling Museum, Shichao History and Culture Park and other attractions. This Great Golden Gate was extremely majestic and must not enter. Now the gate and roof are not saved. But the gate building is still there, the Sumishi seat is still there, and the Waiguo is the red wall. From here, it is the "Four Square City" - the sacred monument of Wugong. Now it is also Gate 5 of Ming Xiaoling Scenic Area. Personal advice if you want to visit the Ming Xiaoling Scenic Area more fully, you can start here.
Fifty meters from the Ming Xiaoling Museum to the Ming Xiaoling Scenic Area, the gate of the Ming Xiaoling Scenic Area - Dajinmen, is also the first gate to officially enter the cemetery. The north of Dajinmen is the monument building of the gods of the Ming Xiaoling, and the two are on the same axis from the north to the south.
The Great Golden Gate is a gate of the Ming Xiaoling City Guo. It used to have scarlet gates and yellow glazed tiles. It is called the Great Golden Gate. Today, only the solid bottom stone buildings are left, and most of them have disappeared.
Dajinmen is the gate of Guocheng outside Mingxiao Tomb. When it was first built, there were Zhuhong gates and yellow glazed tiles. It is called Dajinmen and three-hole arches. Dahong and Jinding no longer exist, but the building is still very majestic and strict.
Why is the Great Golden Gate called the Great Golden Gate, in fact, I don't understand, I need Baidu when I have time, because the color of the exterior is dim, low-key, and the singing and praise of the monument inside is extraordinary and worth seeing.
