Zhaojun tomb

Zhaojun Tomb is also known as "Qingzhong", it is at the 9 kilometers section from the southern suburbs of Hohhot. With an area of nearly 100 mu, it is thought to be the mausoleum of Wang Zhaojun (Wang Qiang) of the western Han Dynasty. It is now a key protected of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Wang Zhaojun was a maid of honor in an imperial palace of the Han Dynasty. In 33 B.C. Huhanxie Chanyu, chief of the Xiongnus, proposed ties of amity with the Han court through marriage. When Zhaojun married Huhanxie, she brought with her the rich culture of the Central China Plain to the Xiongnu people in the north.
  
Zhaojun Tomb is similar to the imperial tombs of the Han Dynasty that were built in the central plain of the kingdom. There are pavilions around the tomb in which visitors can rest. The landscape surrounding the tomb is very beautiful and is always changing, meaning that it has been called a "green tomb supporting beauty"Cultural relics commemorating Zhaojun are on display in an exhibition room nearby. It is valuable for touring.
