As the very same ruler who moved the Chinese capital from Nanjing to Beijing in the early 15th century and led the way for the city’s Imperial layout, the Yongle Emperor had grand visions for the final interment of his Ming Dynasty predecessors. The vast Imperial cemetery covers more than 40 km2 and is a brilliant exemplar of traditional Feng Shui landscape design and architecture. While only a portion of the massive site is open to the public, the valley necropolis is under perpetual excavation and study by archaeologists and field scientists. As such, future generations will have the opportunity to enjoy more of this extraordinary UNESCO World Heritage Site.
