Excellent

I recommend driving. Navigate to "Dingdongling". If you plan to grab a bite to eat near the entrance, you don't need to go into the parking lot; just park at the farmhouse restaurant near the parking lot entrance—it's free. There's nothing under the tombs. Except for the exquisite carvings in the underground palace of the Qianlong Yuling Mausoleum, the other two excavated underground palaces are empty. If you're not a history enthusiast, you can simply walk around outside without buying a ticket to see the feng shui location and the scale of the imperial tombs. The scenic area offers official guided tours for 200 yuan per group, which are independent and open-ended. The tours are okay, the only problem being that the guides always pause briefly to promote the "Tomb Guardian Family Exhibition" at the entrance of Cixi's tomb, which is unpleasant. You can recommend things, but don't keep pushing them. After all, I paid a normal price for the tour, and I don't want you wasting your time trying to sell me other things.
