The joint mausoleum of Emperor Jingdi and Empress Wang, his consort.
This is a great counter point to the Terracotta Warriors. Everything is smaller, and it in tunnels not pits. One of the great parts is that you are able to walk over some of the pit areas on glass and see the artifacts still in their tunnels. Its helps you understand how they are and how they were found. In places it was too dark honestly, and I am not sure why there is some areas that are decently lit and others that aren't so much. I used Travel China Guide for my trip and they were wonderful and Tracy a gem, and she was able to explain things that otherwise wouldn't have been known. For some they will say that tit pales in comparison but I think it was a wonderful way to compare different eras.
