I spent a day here several hours north of the city at Ming’s Tomb. Everything lies along the “Central Axis” in Beijing. That is, if you walk in a straight line out of Ming’s Tomb, you’ll end up going through the entrance to the Forbidden City. Actually, these tombs are a series of tombs, all oriented along the same axis — you can get a sense of this in the video above.
