The long walk to filial piety
The Ming Xiaoling (Filial Mausoleum of Ming), is the final resting place of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644), the Hongwu Emperor (Zhu Yuanzhang).
It is the only Ming tomb that is located in Nanjing while the other Ming tombs are located in Beijing. The scale of the filial piety that his successor, the Yongle Emperor (Zhu Di) showed, can be seen in the long walk from the entrance to the end of the tomb.
Have a very Happy New Year 2020 to all of you by the way!
