The "Ming Tombs" is a cluster of 13 tombs of emperors of the Ming Dynasty in the northwest suburb of Beijing. Only one tomb,"Dingling" was excavated in the 1950s as a trial for the excavation of other imperial tombs. However, before many problems resulted from this excavation, to-date, it is the only tomb of Chinese emperors that has been excavated intact. The other 12 Ming tombs remain intact. China also has many imperial tombs that are believed to be still intact, the most famous of which is that of Emperor Qingshihuang, the first emperor of China.
