Tombs of the Jingjiang Princes
靖江王陵
The Ming-era tomb complex of the Jingjiang princes on the western slope of Yao Mountain, with grand scale and solemn stone statues, known as the “First Mausoleum of Lingnan.”
The Tombs of the Jingjiang Princes lie on the southwestern slope of Yao Mountain on Guilin’s eastern outskirts. They are the tomb complex of fourteen Jingjiang princes across eleven generations of the Ming dynasty, along with their clan members. More than 300 tombs survive across a wide area, which is why the site is known as the “First Mausoleum of Lingnan.” The open Tomb of Prince Zhuangjian is well preserved, with clear stone statues and stone beasts lining the spirit path and an intact tomb layout. Nearby, an exhibition hall displays excavated artifacts, including meiping vases. Admission is priced on site. It is about 20 minutes by taxi from downtown and can be visited on the same day as Yao Mountain. Together with Jingjiang Prince City in town, it forms a complete picture of “a palace in life, a tomb in death.”
