Huiling Mausoleum
Huiling Mausoleum submitted by DrewParsons : The mound photographed in December 2019 (Vote or comment on this photo)
West of Zhuge Liang Hall in the Zhuge Liang Memorial Temple (Wuhou Temple) lies a quiet and secluded mausoleum, the tomb of Liu Bei, the first ruler of the State of Shu, now in modern day China. It was in the past known as the Huiling Mausoleum. According to the History of the Three Kingdoms, in 223AD, Liu Bei died in Baidi Town. His remains were shipped to Chengdu in May and buried in Huiling with his wives, Gan and Wu.

Nobody knows the exact date of original construction of the tomb of Liu Bei. However, conditions at the time made it impossible for the State of Western Shu to spend much money and materials on a mausoleum. The sleeping chamber at the front of the mausoleum is very simple and narrow. The earth covering on the tomb was only 12 metres deep and the tomb is circled by a round, ancient brick wall with a circumference of 180 metres. Grass and greenwoods cover the tomb's earth slopes.
