Once leaving the purple terraces, it connects to the vast desert, leaving only the green tomb facing the dusk
Wang Zhaojun, one of China's four great beauties known as the 'fallen goose', has her ceremonial mound in Hohhot, which is accessible by bus. The first thing you see is the Zhaojun Museum, where you can enter by showing your ID card. Inside, the museum provides a detailed introduction to Zhaojun's history, not only the widely known stories but also those less known to the public. After visiting the museum, there are also exhibits on the history of the Heqin marriage alliance, the Chanyu's great tent, Zhaojun's hometown, the green tomb, and a 5D exhibition. However, visitors are not allowed to enter the green tomb; they can only view it from below. Nonetheless, seeing a scene from my textbooks still made me very happy!

A monument of ethnic friendship - the Tomb of Wang Zhaojun
The Tomb of Wang Zhaojun (Wang Zhaojun Museum), also known as "Qing Tomb", is the tomb of Wang Zhaojun, a concubine of the Han Dynasty recorded in historical books and folk tales. It was built during the Western Han Dynasty and has been around for more than 2000 years, making it one of the largest Han tombs in China.
In addition to this location, it is said that there are more than a dozen Wang Zhaojun tombs on the southern foot of Daqing Mountain. There has been no archaeological excavation at the Wang Zhaojun tomb site, and there are related tombs or robe tombs in Inner Mongolia, Shanxi, Henan and other places.
The Tomb of Wang Zhaojun in Hohhot has been expanded and renovated, forming three major areas: the new museum area, the mausoleum area, and the garden area (mainly lawns, various trees and ornamental flowers).
The main building of the new museum area is like two pyramids, connected by a central corridor to form a 'he' shape, which is currently the first museum in the world to showcase Xiongnu culture.
Mausoleum area: There are Qing Tomb, Divine Road, and ancient Chinese marriage hall, 5D cinema (not open), Chanyu's big tent (not open), Wang Zhaojun's old home site (under construction), etc.
Garden area: A place for leisure and rest, mainly with lawns, various trees and ornamental flowers.
