Mancheng Han Tombs

Sign at Top of Tramway - 13

In 1968 two tombs were found in present-day Mancheng County in Hebei province. The first undisturbed royal Western Han tombs ever discovered, they belong to the prince Liu Sheng (d. 113 BC), who was a son of Emperor Jing Di, and Liu Sheng's consort Dou Wan. The structure and layout of the tombs departs from earlier traditions in significant ways.
