We visited on recommendation of lonely planet and it was amazing! The snow covered ruins looked very beautiful and suitably dramatic and most of the signs featured Chinese, English, Korean, Russian, and Japanese. The explanations were simple and there was lots to see and walk around. The minus 0°C temperatures didn't affect our enjoyment at all and whilst we may have missed some of the slight details due to the snow the entire area was gorgeous. Be careful of the paths though, as snowfall in the North is pretty heavy and can obscure the paths borders. All in all a brilliant place to walk around and explore for an hour and a half to a few hours depending on interest levels!

This is a Mausoleum worth to visit. Beautiful Trees are on both sides. The steps , 392, representing the 392 million people at that time, are well set. From above, you only see the platforms! The coffin is very big for the 159cm Sun Yatsen... It is a miracle, that this Mausoleum survived the Revolutions.

The joint mausoleum of Emperor Jingdi and Empress Wang, his consort.
After seeing the terra cotta warriors the army that accompanied this Emperor to the after life is not that impressive. Our guide told us the figures originally had wooden heads and arms and wore clothing, none of which has survived the centuries. The figures are not life sized and today lack arms and heads and clothing. Thus, the name our guide told us- headless naked barbies. However, the museum, which is underground is a masterpiece of architecture to enable large numbers of people to view this underground tomb, in some places through glass floors over the chambers. This Emperor also needed a lot of food to accompany him and the herds of terra cotta sheep, pigs and cows are remarkable.

We enjoyed walking through the area on the sacred pathway (lined with stone animals and soldiers) on the way to the tomb. The cost to enter is 70 RMB and you can pay 100 RMB to get a discount ticket to see other attractions in the purple mountain area as of March 2021. The gardens are well maintained and there are plenty of signs to point you in the right direction. The ramps to go to the top of the tomb building are a little slippery and uneven so make sure you have good shoes. There are also lots of cats and pollen in this area when we went in March 2021 so you might want to bring your allergy medication just in case. There were also plenty of mosquitoes but they did not bite at all. Lots of places to grab snacks and drinks in the park area - the highlight for us was a Johnsonville sausage trailer! Closest Metro to the main gate was Muxuyuan. To Didi here you can enter "Ming Xiaoling Masoleum Scenic Area - Ticket Office".
