Mingzu Mausoleum

Situated at the spot where the Huaihe River empties into Hongze Lake, 5 miles northwest of Xuyi, Mingzu Mausoleum is the number one mausoleum of Ming Dy­nasty tombs. Built by Zhu Yuanzhang as a cenotaph honoring three generations from his grandfather and the place where his grandfather is actually buried, its construc­tion began in 1385. The stone carvings in front of the tomb are masterpieces of Ming stone sculpture.
