INNERMONGOLIA: Zhaojun Tomb

Zhaojun Tomb is located on the southern bank of the Dahei River, nine kilometers south of the city of Hohhot. Viewed from afar, the surface of the tomb appears to be dark green. It is therefore called the ¡°green tomb.¡±

Wang Zhaojun was a maid of honor in an imperial palace of the Han Dynasty. In 33 B.C. Huhanxie Chanyu, chief of the Xiongnus, proposed ties of amity with the Han court through marriage. When Zhaojun married Huhanxie, she brought with her the rich culture of the Central China Plain to the Xiongnu people in the north.

Zhaojun Tomb is similar to the imperial tombs of the Han Dynasty that were built in the central plain of the kingdom. There are pavilions around the tomb in which visitors can rest. Cultural relics commemorating Zhaojun are on display in an exhibition room nearby.
