This UNESCO site used to be the mausoleum of the founding father of the Qing dynasty, Nuherharji (1559-1626). He didn't assume the title of emperor of China (or the Manchus), but did first launch the campaign against Ming. Unfortunately, he died about two decades before Qing overtook Ming, and was later respected as the founding father of the last dynasty in China's history, Qing. The site is not that far from the city center, but there are only a few public transport options (You can take bus No.218 or 168 from Zhongjie). Compared to Beiling park (located among residential areas, metro accessible), this park is isolated and quiet with much far less visitors, which is brilliant (so you can avoid the crowd and noise or the hectic urban environment altogether). As a local, I've been there multiple times, and I particularly enjoy the view from the high walls. Also, the tomb was located up on a hill, which was the Manchu way (unique compared with Han traditions). The whole park is quite large, and the site was first built in the 17th century based on natural environment and local topography, whereas the Beiling site was man-made (authentically built in the 17th century with great nature though). From the map you'll see, Dongling park is connected with the hills and mountains to the east and the northeast, and Beiling park is located in the middle of a plain, with no natural habitat nearby (Beiling is worth visiting as well and easy accessible, but here we are ).

Amazing statue of Chairman Mao. It looks very impressive at night time when it is well lighted and there are not many people. Be careful when you enter the square, the local traffic is not very well walker friendly.

I really liked this place. It is like a museum of different architecture styles and I really liked the European style house with 3 floors. When it was build it was the tallest building in the area. I did not know anything about the father and son of this residence but will definitely read up about them now. There are not that much information in English to be true but it did not bother me that much.
