Shaanxi: Find the Eighteen Mausoleums 

During the journey of finding the eighteen mausoleums, we have passed Qianxian County, Liquan County, Sanyuan County, Jingyang County and Fuping County and visited fourteen imperial mausoleums of Tang Dynasty, both well preserved or wrecked. The last four mausoleums are located in Pucheng County, Weinan City, namely the Mausoleum of Qiao, Tai, Jing and Guang respectively.
Among the four mausoleums, the momentum of Qiao makes the later generations admire a lot. The Qiao Mausoleum is situated in the Fengshan Mountain, 15 kilometers northwest of Pucheng County and covers an area of 20 square kilometers.
The owner of the Qiao Mausoleum is the fifth emperor of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Ruizong, Li Dan. When you look up the genealogy of Emperor Ruizong, you will find that his parents and son are all the prominent persons in history. His father is Emperor Gaozong, Li Zhi, and his mother is Wu Zetian, the first and the only female emperor in Chinese history, and the his son is Emperor Xuanzong, Li Longji, under whose reign the Flourishing Kaiyuan Reign Period appeared. It is no wonder that Qiao Mausoleum is the most magnificent among the four mausoleums.
