Longquan Mountain Ming Chu King Tomb Group (King Zhao's Tomb)

On the first day of the lunar new year, after the freezing rain in Hubei, the sun is shining brightly, which is extremely suitable for outings. To avoid the bustling popular check-in points, I booked the tickets for the Ming Chu King's Tomb early in the morning. 📜About the Ming Chu King's Tomb Hubei, the land of Jingchu; Wuhan, the capital of Huguang in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to the 'History of Ming', 'Chu Zhao King Zhu Zhen, the sixth son of Taizu. When he was born, the report of Ping Wuchang just arrived, and Taizu was happy and said: 'The son is long, and he is sealed with Chu.' In 1381, Zhu Zhen was 17 years old and was appointed as the king of Chu in Wuchang. His rule was under the Snake Mountain under the Yellow Crane Tower, ruling Wuchang for as long as 43 years. Zhu Zhen went to Lingquan Mountain to escape the heat every year, and sighed: 'It's a pity that it's a yang house, it's great if it's a yin house.' So he changed Lingquan Mountain to 'Longquan Mountain'. After Zhu Zhen's death, he became King Zhao, and this place became the mausoleum and cemetery of Zhao, Zhuang, Xian, Kang, Jing, Duan, Min, Gong, and He. 🌈Highlights: The Ming Chu King's Tomb Group is one of the most intact tomb groups of the existing Ming Fan Kings, and it is also the only national ancient tomb site in Wuhan, looking at the Thirteen Tombs of Beijing from a distance. The existing Ming Chu King's Tomb, only the tomb mound is a Ming Dynasty relic, and most of the original buildings no longer exist; It is worth mentioning that there is a tomb of Wuyang Hou Fan Shuai on the right side of the main hall. In the past, when Lv Hou was in power, the descendants of the Fan family moved to avoid being implicated, and moved Fan Shuai's coffin here, and built a viewing pavilion on the top of Longquan Mountain. 🚗Address and transportation: At the foot of Longquan Mountain in Jiangxia District, Wuhan City, the location is remote and there is no direct public transportation: ①Urban public transportation Metro Line 2 Fozuling Station transfer to bus 909🚌 or taxi (the bus can only go nearby, it is recommended to take a taxi); ②Another way is to take the air rail to Longquan Mountain Station (the fare is 30 yuan, the cost performance is low, not recommended), and then transfer to a bus or taxi. 🎫Ticket information: A pass is 36 yuan (Longquan Mountain climb + King Zhao's tomb + Popo Tree) It takes more than enough time to go up and down Longquan Mountain in one hour, and the scenery is average; King Zhao's tomb, the largest in the cemetery, but the tomb room is equivalent to the county king's specifications, but it just proves that the ancestors strictly followed the thin burial at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and then the emperor began to bury thickly, such as Jiajing, the upper line and the lower effect, from the size and shape of the Chu King's tomb group Can glimpse one or two; The Popo Tree🌲 is really an ancient tree, specially circled for charging, the appearance is really ugly, in fact, you can see it at the ticket inspection point; In addition, the first check-in point to enter the scenic spot is Lingquan Temple, which is free, has a large area, and has newly built buildings. ✨Tips: The slogan of the scenic spot is 'There are thirteen tombs in the north, and nine king's tombs in the south.' In fact, only the Zhao Mausoleum is intact and has not been forced to break or be stolen. All other mausoleums are empty, and currently only the Zhao Mausoleum is open, and other tombs are waiting for subsequent repairs.
