Spend a full day with a professional tour guide exploring the captivating Eastern Qing Tombs, which are the most extensive and well-maintained tombs for royalty still standing in China. The tour spans 8 to 9 hours and includes both the guide and hotel transportation.
- Eastern Royal Tombs of the Qing Dynasty - Begin your day with a knowledgeable guide picking you up from your hotel in the morning to explore the captivating Eastern Qing Tombs. The Qing Dynasty, the last imperial dynasty of China, was established by the Manchus from the northeast. Their burial sites are constructed to surpass the grandeur of the Ming Dynasty’s tombs. Witness the exquisite stone sculptures and the influence of Tibetan Buddhism at Emperor Qianlong’s resting place, the extravagant opulence in the crypt of the infamous yet powerful Empress Dowager Cixi, and the extensive looting of the tombs by warlords in the 1920s that has drawn public interest.
The Eastern Qing Tombs are less frequented due to their greater distance from the Ming Tombs, offering a tranquil atmosphere for delving into history.
Enjoy a comfortable 2 to 2.5-hour drive from Beijing to the Eastern Qing Tombs and be returned to your hotel post-tour.
Please be aware: The area around the Tombs lacks quality dining options, with only a few local eateries that may not meet standards of taste and cleanliness. It is recommended that you bring your own pre-prepared fast food or snacks for lunch.
