Mausoleum
 Located
at the foot of Yao Mountain, 7km east of guilin,
the Mausoleum of Prince Jingjiang is an important
historical site and attraction in Guilin.
The Mausoleum is where eleven princes
of the Jingjiang family during Ming dynasty were

km with more than 300 tombs scattering. In front

simple and stately.

halls nesting in the lush vegetation.
