Introduction
The Western Xia Mausoleums are a complex of tombs located in the western suburbs of Yinchuan City at the foot of the Helan Mountains. These are the imperial tombs of the Western Xia Dynasty (1038-1227) and many emperors are buried here alongside their family members. The entire mausoleum complex holds the graves of nine emperors along with 140 accompanying tombs. The shape of the Western Xia Tombs are shaped differently from those of other imperial Chinese tombs and tomb clusters. Structurally, they resemble a piece of cornmeal "wotou" bread or a sharp-sided domed pyramid. The scenic area also has built a museum dedicated to the Western Xia Dynasty complete with exhibits on art and history of the Western Xia and an array of carved stone steles from that period. The museum hosts an abundance of imperial relics of the Western Xia. Museum docents are delighted to share all they know and will happily assist visitors in understanding more about the rise and fall of the Western Xia and their mysterious, fascinating culture and customs.

With cloudy clouds or very sensitive ～ In fact, the Xixia Mausoleum was found when it was taken by tomb robbers, and then did not continue to dig, so most of the palaces are not visible. Most of the tombs are closed, only the 3rd is open. The whole park is not small, the weather is good, and rent bikes along the Helan Mountain to follow each tomb. There are some cultural experiences in the park, such as the movable type printing of the horse and the various museums and there is a cinema at the entrance, there is a fixed cultural promotional film, it is recommended to see, it is well done, and you can quickly learn the whole history of the West Summer in the form of a story, And a beautiful love story of the Xixia~
A place full of history, there is a feeling of a thousand years. . . Must do homework in advance, recommend to see the mysterious Xixia documentary, if you don't do homework, go may feel that it is a few small mounds, there will be no special feeling.
One of the must-see attractions in Yinchuan, it is recommended to go to the Xixia Museum to see, the new repair, it is very worth to go to the location: the Xixialing National Archaeological Site Park, located in Xixia District, Yinchuan City, Ningxia, but it is about 30 kilometers away from the city. It is relatively far away. In the peak season, Yinchuan Bus Company has direct travel buses. Usually 4-10 months per year, the off-season will be closed, and you can only sign up for a day tour or chartered scenery: Come here mainly to see the history, here used to be the site of the capital of Xixia, The scenic spot has been declaring the world cultural heritage with the help of Ningxia, but it has not been successful so the new Xixia Museum was built, it is well worth a visit, overall it is more worth going than the Ningxia Museum.
The tombs are mysterious and the newly built museum is great, with the guides explaining the history of the west summer! After visiting the museum, we also watched the western summer love edge film, very bring the feeling, then went to the site of the western summer mausoleum, visited the 3 mausoleum, is said to be the Western Xia Kaiguo emperor Li Yuanzhao mausoleum!
