As legend has it, Xiang Fei was a concubine for the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty in the 18th century (reference: Wikipedia). According to this legend, the emperor had welcomed Xiang Fei to the imperial palace in Beijing, and she was known as the "Fragrant Concubine" because of the sweet scent her body naturally produced. Xiang Fei had lived in the Beijing imperial palace until her death, at which time her body was brought back to hometown, Kashgar. She is now entombed in the Xiang Fei (Abakh Hoja) Tomb. As can be seen from the attached photos, the garden area around the Tomb is a very large area and very beautifully landscaped. The Tomb itself is quite stunning on the outside and there is a picturesque water pond in front of the structure. Visitors are allowed inside the Tomb, and the area where Xiang Fei was supposedly laid to rest can be seen inside, as well as caskets for other important dignitaries. No photos were allowed inside the Tomb. Very interesting and lovely place to visit. It is quiet and peaceful visiting the Tomb.
