Six Mausoleums of the Southern Song
宋六陵
The site of the tombs of six Southern Song emperors. After archaeological excavation, it has been developed into a heritage park, where the ancient pine forest preserves the outline of the mausoleum grounds.
The Six Mausoleums of the Southern Song lie at the foot of Zangong Mountain in Fusheng Town, Yuecheng District. They hold the tombs of six Southern Song emperors, Gaozong, Xiaozong, Guangzong, Ningzong, Lizong, and Duzong, along with several empresses. The tombs were looted and damaged in the early Yuan dynasty, and no above-ground structures survived. Only the ancient pines and the layout of the grounds remain. Recent archaeological excavations have uncovered the mausoleum walls, hall foundations, and drainage systems. The site is now an archaeological heritage park, with walkways past the exhibition areas. Allow about 1.5 hours. Opening hours and admission are subject to on-site notices. The site is about 15 km from the old town. A taxi or self-drive is recommended, and it can be visited in the same direction as the Mausoleum of Yu the Great and Mount Kuaiji.
