Brief Introduction£º
¡¡ The tomb of emperor Wan Li(1368-1644) of the Ming Dynasty(1563-1644) is located in Northern outskirts of Beijing. It is the only emperor's tomb discovered in China that has granted access to the public. The emperor was very enigmatic and lived a very isolated existence. Evidence of Wan Li's legendary sad life is that after his death, his wish to be buried together with the woman he loved was not fulfilled.
