The poet Du Fu once wrote in "Re-discussion on Zhaoling": "The spiritual bed is empty, and the bear is black and blue. Look at Baisong Road again and see Wu Yunfei. "
Zhaoling Project was carefully designed by famous craftsmen Yan Lide and Yan in Tang Dynasty. Others said that Tang Zhaoling was stolen, and there was a stolen statue of Li Shimin's love horse in the American museum.

3, Yongzheng Tailing
Tailing Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Yongzheng, the earliest, largest and most complete mausoleum in Xiling. It is said that Tailing Mountain was once robbed.
1980, National Cultural Heritage Administration approved the cleaning and excavation of Tailing underground palace. After the stolen cave was dug down 2 meters, it was found that the original soil was still sealed below, indicating that the main body of tailings was not stolen, so the excavation was stopped and protected. As for Yongzheng, sudden death, headless body, there is a head made of gold in the mausoleum. With the stop of excavation, these have become unsolved suspense and conjecture.

Xixia Mausoleum is located at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, about 30 kilometers west of Yinchuan City, Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. It is the royal mausoleum of Xixia Dynasty. In Fiona Fang's 53-square-kilometer mausoleum area, there are 9 emperors' tombs and 253 tombs buried with them. It is one of the largest existing royal cemeteries in China, with the most complete ground remains, and is praised as "mysterious miracle" and "Oriental Pyramid" by the world.

5. Ming tombs
Ming Mausoleum is the joint tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou, the great ancestor of Ming Dynasty, and it is one of the largest existing ancient imperial tombs in China. It is located at the foot of Mount Everest in Dulong Prefecture in the south of Zhongshan. It was built in the 14th year of Hongwu (138 1 year) and lasted for 25 years. It was not built until the third year of Yongle, and it has a history of more than 600 years.
The Shinto of Ming Tombs is tortuous, which is quite different from the Shinto of emperors' tombs in previous dynasties.
It was not until the aerial photography of the Ming Tombs that it was discovered that the layout of the whole tomb was actually the Big Dipper.
Why did you build a mausoleum like this? It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang took Liu Ji and others who were proficient in geomantic omen theory to Zhongshan in the eastern suburbs to "seek dragons and acupoints". After repeated investigations, everyone wrote their own feng shui treasures on a piece of paper, and all of them came out as "lone dragons".
Zhu Yuanzhang waved and said, "Let Sun Quan watch the door for me." So the scenic spots and historical sites in Dulongfu area, including the big tomb and small mounds, were dug up, leaving only Sun Quan's tomb at the winding Shinto gate of the Ming tomb, and the layout of the imperial tomb was also built into the Big Dipper.
Legend has it that after Zhu Yuanzhang's death, a "maze" was set up. On the day of the funeral, thirteen gates were buried at the same time, which made people wonder which one was the real coffin. Soon Zhu Yuanzhang was buried alone in the Chaotian Palace in the west of the city. Later, the Ming and Qing dynasties were skeptical about the statement that Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in Xiaoling Mausoleum. What the truth is, I'm afraid we can only know it on the day of excavation.
6. Ganling
Ganling is the mausoleum of Emperor Li Zhi and Empress Wu of Tang Gaozong, and it is also the only cemetery in the world where two emperors and a couple were buried together. It has a history of 1300 years, and enjoys the reputation of "open-air stone carving museum", "the crown of emperors' tombs" and "sleeping beauty".
According to the local exploration of the vertical underground palace under the main peak of Ganling by archaeologists and the excavation of tombs near Ganling, experts speculate that the structure of Ganling Mausoleum is composed of tombs, caves, patios, front and rear passages and left and right palaces.
On both sides of the nearly 100-meter corridor leading to the King Kong Wall, there are various gold and silver ritual vessels. What interests the world most is whether the top national treasure-Wang Xizhi's original Preface to the Lanting Pavilion is in Ganling.
As the underground palace of Ganling has not yet been opened, everything is still a mystery.
7. Qin Shihuang Mausoleum
The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor is the mausoleum of Ying Zheng, the first emperor in China history, located at the foot of Lishan Mountain in Lintong District, Xi City, Shaanxi Province. More than 700,000 craftsmen and civilian workers took more than 30 years to complete.
According to legend, the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor takes mercury as the river and sea, but whether there is mercury in the mausoleum has always been a mystery. According to "Three Auxiliary Stories", Xiang Yu, the overlord of the Western Chu Dynasty, once plundered the Qin tomb. During the excavation, a golden goose suddenly flew out of the tomb and kept flying south.
Hundreds of years later, during the Three Kingdoms period, a satrap named Zhang Shan also saw this golden goose. Records in Historical Records and Hanshu also leave a record that "gold is a goose", and its mystery is daunting.

Therefore, Qiao Shan Huangdi Mausoleum, also known as Huangdi Crown Mausoleum, is the only Huangdi Mausoleum in historical records.
The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, also known as the "Bridge Mausoleum", is a place where emperors and celebrities in China offered sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor. According to records, the earliest sacrifice to the Yellow Emperor began in 442 BC.

9. Cao Cao's Tomb

The tomb of Cao Cao, which has been discovered at present, cannot be asserted to be the real tomb of Cao Cao due to the lack of physical evidence, but it does not prevent it from becoming a famous tourist attraction. Where is the real tomb of Cao Cao? Will continue to be debated by people.
10, Genghis Khan Mausoleum
When Genghis Khan died, thousands of people were buried with him alone, and a lot of gold and silver treasures were buried together in the mausoleum. The handicrafts inside are even more spectacular than the terracotta warriors and horses unearthed from Qin Shihuang's mausoleum. For hundreds of years, people all over the world have been looking for the mausoleum of Genghis Khan because of the large amount of treasures buried in it.
So where is this tomb with the most treasures?
The mainstream view is that the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, located on the grassland of Ejinhoro Banner in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, is actually just a cenotaph, not a real mausoleum. Because the Mongols are a nation where "dense burial" prevails, it is still a mystery where the real Genghis Khan mausoleum is.
