Téngdōng

East of Teng County the plain rises into the ridges of Lianqing Mountain. Its many peaks and valleys form a rugged setting for an old princely tomb, remembered locally as the Imperial City. The Ming burial was laid out on a southern mountain slope between flanking hills, with a stream before it. Within the tomb, painted figures in Ming dress once accompanied the dead, and an altar with a stone incense burner stood above the approach.
