This great mausoleum of the Manchu Emperors lies about eighty miles from Peiping, at the foot of a vast bow! in the hills, formerly surrounded by an earth wall which ran up the slopes of the mountains and joined the Great Wall. The general effect of the tombs is most impressive: the bright red walls, glittering yellow tiled roots and the dazzling white marble bridges and balustrades stand out in relief against the beautiful parle with its splendid trees. while in the background the Great Wall gives an added touch of splendour to the whole" magnificent setting.
