Enjoy the Beauty of autumn at the Ming Dynasty Tombs

I have to admit, one of the loveliest moments enjoying the fall is when I walked the kings tomb complex of the Ming Dynasty in the northwest of Beijing, or rather in Changping district. Surrounded Yanshan mountains, old cemetery has roughly two centuries it has beautiful scenery and amazing. This place is the best travel destinations in China.
 
Rows of trees with leaves begin to blush, dotted expanse of snow in some corner of the wall, making me regret not taking the time to stop by this place. Like the Great Wall of China a super wide, 13 royal tombs are scattered in the land area of? 120 square kilometers. However, only three tombs are open to the public: Changling, Dingling and Zhaoling. Ticket price to get into the tomb complex is 60 Yuan (Rp75 thousand).
 
Of the three tombs, I went to the tomb Dingling. This tomb is the tomb of the first that was made for a king and two queen Zhu Yijun. Landscaping and stone sculpture carving various forms (turtles and dragons). The shape of the front of the palace as well as tombs shaped box, while at the back the circle. This reportedly followed the philosophy of China which considers heaven round the world while the squares.
 
To see the tomb of the king, it turns out we have to enter the underground palace. Through the hall with a high ceiling is also made of stone, the palace is far from being dark. While there is no outward appearance of gold and red paint is often a typical building in China, the stone carvings on marble still showing typical Chinese.
 
Before the king put the crate into the room, I passed several rooms featuring marble queen bed and other valuables such as jade empire, crown made of gold to three colors royal pottery bowls. And, the experience is somewhat unique when it enters the hall before the coffin chamber, everyone throws money into the middle of the room.
 
Actually, I do not understand why people do things like that but eventually I started to follow the other. Hopefully anyway, the coin toss is to provoke a lot of luck for me, so out of this underground palace. And, when it entered the tomb, three large crates lined. Who threw coins and paper more money. Well, maybe it'll catch sustenance royally times yes. I was with a friend did not want to lose. We scrape wallet and throws currency. Hoping rupiah also abundant sustenance.
 
Out of the tomb, my stomach churning sight immediately around the walls of the tomb. Since the fall, the trees appear live branches. However, these trees look like in the painting when combined with land in the colorful hills. Naturally, if it was along the wall, a lot of people serve this beautiful scenery. Especially me who live in countries that have never experienced the fall.
