Zhāo Líng is the smallest of the main three Ming Tombs, and many of its buildings are recent rebuilds. It’s much less visited than the others, though, so is more peaceful, and the fortified wall (宝成; bǎo chéng ) surrounding the burial mound is unusual in both its size and form. The tomb, which is the resting place of Emperor Longqing (1537–72), is at the end of the small village of Zhāolíng (昭陵村; Zhāolíng Cūn).
