The Mausoleum of Emperor Yi is the tomb of Xiong Xin, a descendant of King Huai of Chu of the late Qin dynasty. He was honored by Xiang Yu as 'Emperor Yi.' In 206 BCE, Xiang Yu moved Emperor Yi to Chenzhou County, then had him killed and buried him here. The site was repaired many times through the centuries, and today's remains include an archway, a burial mound, and stone inscriptions. The mausoleum grounds are located in the Beihu district of Chenzhou's urban area. Admission is free. The site is not large and makes a convenient stop while touring Yuhou Street and Suxian Ridge. A visit takes about half an hour.
