The mausoleum area served as the final resting place for seven emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty (960–1127), along with their empresses, princes, princesses, and important court officials.
Covering a vast area, the tomb complex preserves a large number of historical relics and magnificent stone carvings, making it an important destination for visitors interested in Chinese history, imperial culture, and ancient art.
