Zhaojun Tomb

The tomb, one of the major attractions in the city of Hohhot, occupies some 13,000 m² of land, with a 33-metre mound containing Zhaojun's coffin. The tomb is honorary, Wang Zhaojun is not actually buried here. Her true grave and cause of death is unknown. Still the "tomb" is visited by thousands of Chinese tourists each year and is noted for its attractive scenery.

The first Chinese mention of the cemetery in written record is in the Tang dynasty, by Du You (杜佑) in A Comprehensive Guide (通典). Former Chinese head of state Dong Biwu wrote the inscription on the entrance plaque to the tomb.
