The Western Qing Tombs: history on the outskirts

All of the Western Qing Tombs and their accompanying structures are quintessential examples of Qing Dynasty architecture. The history is definitely rich, though the English signage is sometimes lacking. Visitors may consider taking an English tour guide with them. The lack of tour buses going to Yi County may be inconvenient for some, but it definitely helps ensure that visitors can explore the sites and experience the history intimately and at their own pace.
