Henan Gongyi | The remains of Emperor Song Yingzong's Yonghou Tomb

Yonghou Tomb is the tomb of Zhao Shu, the fifth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. ❤Recommended reason: The first thing that comes into view when entering Yonghou Tomb is a series of tall yellow "mounds", which are the rammed earth remains of the original magpie platform, milk platform, and corner que of the tomb. When the Song Dynasty built the imperial tombs, they generally wrapped green bricks around the large rammed earth mounds, and then built towers on top. 👍Most recommended: The scale and system of the Northern Song Dynasty's imperial tombs are basically the same, all facing south to north. Although the stone carvings of the Song Dynasty's tomb path are similar in regulations, the images carved are all unique. Yonghou Tomb has suffered several serious tomb robberies in history, and there are many robbery holes on the tomb platform, which have already severely collapsed.
