Ming Dynasty Tombs
 
The Ming Dynasty Tombs pinyin: Míng cháo shí sa-n líng; lit. Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty) are located some 50 kilometers due North of Beijing at a specially selected site. The site was chosen by the third Ming Dynasty emperor Yongle (1402 - 1424), who moved the capital of China from Nanjing to the present location of northwest Beijing. The Ming tombs of the 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty were located on the southern slope of Mount Taishou (originally Mount Huangtu).
