📷 Ming Tombs in Nanjing
The tombs of Wu Zhen and Wu Liang, Ming generals and brothers from Anhui, are lesser-known historical sites located in Nanjing, Jiangsu, China. These tombs are situated on the western slopes of Purple Mountain, near Gangzicun Metro Station, and are part of a group of tombs that played a significant role in the establishment of the Ming dynasty. Despite their modest size compared to the grand Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, the tombs of Wu Zhen and Wu Liang offer a peaceful and intimate setting, featuring a spirit way lined with stone statues that symbolize protection and virtues such as justice and power.
