Highlights
-
Ming Tombs (Ming Shishan Ling) - Your tour guide will meet you at exit of the airport with the welcoming board on which your name will be written at 08:30 a.m. Then, transfer to the Ming Tombs and start the highlight day tour.
A series of temple-like structures and burial mounds, the Ming Tombs contain the remains of 13 of the 16 emperors who ruled China during the Ming Dynasty (1368 to 1644). Of the 13 tombs, three are open to the public and accessible via a statue-lined path called the Sacred Way, where the carvings of mythical animals and legendary figures are believed to ward off evil spirits. The Ming Tombs Museum sits just behind the ticket office and offers a short introduction to each of the 13 entombed emperors.
After lunch, you will visit Fragrant Hills Park and wander in Qianmen Street.
