Western Qing Tombs
Located in Yixian County, 120 kilometers southwest of Beijing, the Western Qing Tombs marked the end of the Qing Dynasty and the end of feudalism, said archaeologists.
Finished in 1915, the graveyard includes the tomb of China"s last emperor.
Archaeologists said that Chinese ancient architecture reached its highest splendor in the Qing Dynasty, and the wooden structure, stone and wood sculptures and the advanced drainage system of the Western Qing Tombs were good examples of the highest standards.
More than 200,000 pines and cypresses in the graveyard now make it the largest ancient pine forest in northern China.
