Located at the eastern end of the Helan Mountain, 30 kilometers west of Yinchuan, the capital of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the 53-square-kilometer Western Xia Mausoleum includes nine imperial tombs and 250 tombs of imperial relatives and officials from the Western Xia Dynasty (1038-1227). The tombs glitter gloriously under the bright sun. The scenic spot is one of the largest and best preserved imperial mausoleums in China. [Photo by Mi Xingang/China.org.cn]
