Eastern Qing Tombs
Nestled in Zunhua City, Tangshan, Hebei Province, the Eastern Qing Tombs cover an area of 78 square kilometers. They constitute China’s largest, most intact and exquisitely laid-out complex of imperial mausoleums extant today. As a World Cultural Heritage Site and a National AAAA-level Tourist Attraction, they lie 125 kilometers from downtown Beijing.
The mausoleum cluster includes five imperial tombs: Xiaoling Tomb for the Shunzhi Emperor, Jingling Tomb for the Kangxi Emperor, Yuling Tomb for the Qianlong Emperor, Dingling Tomb for the Xianfeng Emperor, and Huiling Tomb for the Tongzhi Emperor. There are also four empress mausoleums for Empresses Dowager Ci’an and Cixi, five concubine gardens and one princess mausoleum, housing the remains of 14 empresses and 136 imperial concubines in total.
Ticket Fee: 120 RMB

Ten Thousand Buddha Garden (Wanfo Garden)
Ten Thousand Buddha Garden is a large antique-style sightseeing garden themed on Buddhist culture. It derives its name from the ten thousand jade and golden Buddha statues of varied shapes enshrined within. Also known as Yanshan Pagoda Cemetery, it is the only garden-style mausoleum complex situated inside the feng shui wall of the Eastern Qing Tombs World Cultural Heritage Reserve, sharing the same auspicious geomantic vein as the imperial tombs. Located at the foot of the Yanshan Mountains with mausoleum functions, it got the alternative name Yanshan Pagoda Cemetery.
The scenic area features over ten unique scenic spots. The Golden Pagoda alone has a construction area of more than 10,000 square meters and rises 22 stories high. The 9,999 golden Buddha statues inside consumed 2,600 taels of pure gold, and a sacred relic of the 6th Panchen Lama is enshrined at the pagoda spire. Rare treasures adorn the garden like a Buddhist shrine: the Three Golden Buddhas cast from 650 taels of pure gold and 4,000 taels of silver, and a 1.9-meter-tall jadeite Guanyin statue weighing 1.6 tons.
Ticket Fee: 50 RMB
Transportation
Self-Driving / Bus: Take a Zunhua-bound coach from Beijing Sihui Long-Distance Bus Station for around 50 RMB. Get off at Zunhua Shimen Toll Station and transfer to a taxi. Ten Thousand Buddha Garden stands to the west of the Eastern Qing Tombs.
Panjiakou
Within Panjiakou Reservoir in Kuancheng Manchu Autonomous County lies the extraordinary Underwater Great Wall. Xifengkou and Panjiakou Castles, built more than 500 years ago, served as two vital passes of the Ming Great Wall. They were strategic thoroughfares connecting the Central Plains to northern borderlands and the northeastern frontier. This section of the Great Wall stretches roughly 50 kilometers, with 21 beacon towers and 160 enemy watchtowers.
After the state completed the large-scale Panjiakou Reservoir water conservancy hub in 1975, the water level rose above the Great Wall’s height, submerging Xifengkou and Panjiakou Castles. The five-century-old Great Wall vanished beneath the water, forming the renowned Underwater Great Wall. Severe droughts drastically lowered the reservoir water level by the end of the 20th century, revealing the submerged wall after more than 20 years. Recently, dwindling reservoir storage has dropped the water level by 42 meters, exposing the Underwater Great Wall once again.
