The Ming Tombs lie in a valley to the south of the Tianshou Mountains in the Changping district, about 48km (30 miles) northwest of Beijing. 13 of the 16 Ming emperors were buried here and the tombs are "defended" from evil influences by the dragon and tiger hills on either side of the valley. Currently, only 3 of the tombs, namely Changling, Dingling are open to the public.
