An unusual place. Not particularly fascinating, but a convenient stop on the way to or from the Great Wall. Huge and spacious ground, more like a park (with admission fee). Dingling is the mausoleum of the 13th emperor of the Ming Dynasty. One of the collection of mausoleums built by the emperors of the Ming dynasty of China. the majority of the Ming tombs are located in a cluster near Beijing and collectively known as the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty.

THE MING TOMBS /// BEIJING - CHINA
The Ming Tombs are located about 48 km (31 miles) northwest of Beijing at a carefully selected site.
The Ming Tombs site was chosen by the third Ming Dynasty emperor YongLe (1402 - 1424), who moved the capital city of China from Nanjing to the present location of Beijing. He is credited with envisioning the layout of the ancient city of Beijing as well as a number of landmarks and monuments located therein. After the construction of the Imperial Palace (the Forbidden City) in 1420, YongLe selected his burial site and created his own mausoleum.
The Ming Tombs form the most extensive burial complex of any chinese dynasty and are one of the finest preserved pieces of 15th century chinese art and architecture. The Ming Tombs were listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in August 2003 along with other tombs under the 'Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties' designation.

Beijing - Ming Tombs
Fifty miles from downtown Beijing (about one hour driving in a private van with a small group) and lying in the Changping District, the Ming Tombs (thirteen in all) are the best-preserved Chinese imperial tombs with 600 years history. It is one of the extant imperial mausoleum building complexes in China of the largest scale and entombed the largest number of emperors (13 in all) and empresses (23 in all), including concubines. The construction lasted over 200 years, from 1409, the 7th year of Emperor Yongle's reign, until 1644, the 17th year of Emperor Chongzhen's reign, the time the Ming Dynasty collapsed. In 2003, the Ming Tombs were included in the World Heritage List by UNESCO.
Among the main structures here, we visited Tomb Gate, the Hall of Eminent Favor (which houses a very interesting museum), Changling, the head and the largest tomb of the Ming Tombs, where Emperor Yongle and his Empress Xu were buried, the Stone Five Sacrificial Utensils, and the Changling Tower.
Changling (the Tomb of Chang) is also the first tomb, built by Emperor Yongle, the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, whose personal name was Zhu Di, for him and his empress. The mausoleum extends over an area of 100,000 square meters and is the principal and best preserved mausoleum among the thirteen mausoleums. There are color paintings on the ceiling and golden brick paved earth, which all added magnificent atmosphere to the palace.
Because the Ming Tombs are on the way to the Great Wall of China, we passed by for a short visit the Jade Museum, and had a sumptuous buffet lunch at its restaurant. Our sightseeing trip to the Great Wall is the subject of another video, too lenghty to be included here.
On the way back to the city, our sightseeing included the Water Tube, or the National Aquatics Center, the main swimming pool for Beijing 2008 Olympics, and one of the symbolic buildings of the Olympic Games held in the city.

Fifty kilometers (31 miles) away from Beijing lies Changling Tomb, the tomb of the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), Zhu Di and Empress Xu. Among the 16 emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Zhu Di (1360-1424), also honored as Emperor Yongle, made the greatest contribution to the country and had the most far-reaching impact on history. During his time, the Ming Dynasty reached its peak. In 1409, Emperor Zhu Di built Changling Tomb. He was the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty to build a tomb. After that another 12 tombs were built. Changling Tomb is the largest and the most completely preserved of these tombs. Because of its grand ancient architecture, brilliant culture and long history, the site is one of the most significant attractions in Beijing.

China/Beijing (Summer Palace 2) Part 26
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
The Summer Palace (Chinese: 頤和園;), is a vast ensemble of lakes, gardens and palaces in Beijing, China. It serves as a popular tourist destination and recreational park. Mainly dominated by Longevity Hill (万寿山; 萬壽山; Wànshòu Shān) and Kunming Lake (昆明湖; Kūnmíng Hú), it covers an expanse of 2.9 square kilometres (1.1 sq mi), three-quarters of which is water.
Longevity Hill is about 60 metres (200 feet) high and has many buildings positioned in sequence. The front hill is rich with splendid halls and pavilions, while the back hill, in sharp contrast, is quiet with natural beauty. The central Kunming Lake, covering 2.2 square kilometres (540 acres), was entirely man-made and the excavated soil was used to build Longevity Hill.
In December 1998, UNESCO included the Summer Palace on its World Heritage List. It declared the Summer Palace a masterpiece of Chinese landscape garden design. The natural landscape of hills and open water is combined with artificial features such as pavilions, halls, palaces, temples and bridges to form a harmonious ensemble of outstanding aesthetic value.
The entire Summer Palace is centred around Longevity Hill and Kunming Lake, with the latter covering about three quarters of the area. Most of the important buildings were built along the north–south axis of Longevity Hill, which is divided into the front hill and the back hill. There are three small islands within Kunming Lake: Nanhu Island, Zaojiantang Island and Zhijingge Island. The West Dam of Kunming Lake divides the lake into two. The East Dam was constructed during the reign of the Guangxu Emperor. The attractions in the Summer Palace may be divided into six different sections or scenic areas: the Halls, Longevity Hill, Kunming Lake, the Farming and Weaving Picture Scenic Area, the Long Corridor, and the Central Axis area.Wikipedia
