After snowfall, Qing burial site glistens

After a snowfall on Tuesday, Qing Xiling — the Western Qing Tombs — in Yixian county of Baoding, Hebei province was covered in clouds.

An aerial video showed the area, the burial place of four emperors of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and more than 70 imperial families.

The site was listed as a UNESCO word heritage in 2000, along with other tombs — collectively known as the imperial tombs of the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Located about 100 kilometers southwest of downtown Beijing, the tombs were built in 1730. They became a national 5A tourist attraction in 2020.
