The vast burial complex of thirteen Ming-dynasty emperors, set against the hills northwest of the city and often paired with a Great Wall day trip. The tree-lined Sacred Way, lined with stone animals and officials, is the atmospheric highlight. Only a few tombs are open, and it is far out, so plan it as a half-day excursion.
