JULY 2008
The Ming Tombs are where 13 emperors from the Ming Dynasty are burried
We went to the sacred way which has various animals and officials (statues) lining the way
The Ming Tombs are about 2 hours away from Beijing in a farming area
They are situated near some mountains
The grounds are immaculate with bright green grass and
beautiful trees
A grand red building starts the path
The place is very peaceful with willows hanging
time stands still
The statues are white, large and detailed
even the details on the officials clothes and hats are intricate
The elephants even have a penis
I think it is worth a look
and I saw some westerners which reminded me that
I am not the fattest person in the world
