About Later Zhou Imperial Tombs
The tombs of the rulers of the Later Zhou, the last of the Five Dynasties, near Guodian town: Songling of the founder Guo Wei, Qingling of Emperor Shizong (Chai Rong) and Shunling of the last emperor, Chai Zongxun. Qingling, the largest, is a mound in a walled enclosure of about four hectares with a sacred way and 33 steles dating from 1426 to 1909. Songling is a 10 m mound with a single stele and no stone figures, as Guo Wei asked to be buried simply.
