Located at the foot of Wanzhu Peak on Dulong Fu—on the southern slope of Zijin Mountain (Zhongshan) in the Xuanwu District of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province—the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is the joint burial site of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and his consort, Empress Xiaoci Gao (née Ma). As the foundational example of imperial mausoleums from the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is hailed as the "premier imperial mausoleum of the Ming and Qing eras" and was inscribed on the World Heritage List in 2003.
