Ming Tombs: The Underground Palace


The Dingling Underground Palace is the first of the 13 Ming imperial tombs to be officially opened to the public. Emperor Wan Li (1563-1620) and his 2 empresses were buried at Dingling at his death. Emperor Wan Li reigned for 48 years, the longest of all the Ming emperors and his tomb is definitely the most extravagant.
