Standing in the spirit way at the Ming Tombs looking
back towards the entry gate.
Gate at the start of the sacred walk leading to the tombs.
Notice the rubbed places on the turtles tail end. Rubbing it is supposely gives you good luck.
Big Red Gate
The Big Red Gate was built in 1426. It used to have three huge wooden doors. The central opening was used by the dead emperor alone, and living ministers and imperial family members had to use one of the side openings when they came to pay homage to the deceased emperors.
