Ming Tomb- Nanjing

This morning the crew ventured out on a short tour of the Ming Tomb in Nanjing.

The Ming Tomb is the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang, first emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Its construction project, undertaken in 1381, lasted for 32 years until the "Stele of Great Merits" was erected in 1413, and the emperor was buried here in 1398.
