This was a post I had saved then lost due to the save draft problems formerly - so I'll post it now. Included are pics I took while in China back in November.
The Sacred Way – The Ming Tombs
Serene is the best word I can describe when walking down the path of the Ming tombs, from the Ming Dynasty, 1368-1644.
Located here are the tombs of 13 of the 16 Ming Dynasty emperors. The Sacred Way runs for about a kilometer and is flanked on both sides by carvings of human and animal figures. There are 12 large stone human figures and 24 of animals, all carved from a single block of granite in 1435 during the 10th year of the reign of Emperor Xuan De.
