The Imperial Mausoleum.
Though it contained only the tombs of the Emperors Yongde and Zhaoqing, it was, after all, the Imperial Mausoleum—a symbol of the royal family’s prestige. Emperor Yongde had placed great importance on his affairs after death, spending vast sums of gold and silver to construct this site.
It took ten years to complete. Not only was it grand in scale and built with formidable walls, but it was even hailed by the common people as a "Second Luoyang City."
