The Ming Tombs is the cemetery for the 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
There's a pathway of animal and human stone statues - it was tradition to place these in front of tombs. If the animal is kneeling, it shows respect. If they are standing, it means they are guarding.
Look at this tree!
