The Ming Tombs were the tombs of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. They were located at the foot of Tianshou Mountain in the northern Changping District Beijing City. Among them, Dingling was the tomb where Emperor Wanli and his two empresses were buried together. The Dingling Underground Palace was the only open underground palace in the Ming Tombs. It preserved the sarcophagi of Emperor Chengzu and the Empress, as well as some daily necessities and sacrificial items. The walls of the underground palace of the Dingling Mausoleum were engraved with patterns of dragons, phoenixes, and clouds, symbolizing the nobility and power of the royal family. The Ming Tombs were the largest existing imperial mausoleum complex in China and even the world, with the largest number of mausoleums of emperors and empresses. It was announced by the State Council as the first batch of key cultural relics to be protected in the country.

The Ming Dingling Mausoleum was the tomb of the 13th Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Shenzong Zhu Yijun, and Empress Xiaoduan and Empress Xiaojing. It was located at the eastern foot of Dayu Mountain in Changping District, Beijing City. It was built in 1584 and took six years to complete. The general layout of the Ming Dingling Mausoleum's ground buildings was circular in front and back, which contained the symbolic meaning of the ancient Chinese philosophical concept of "round sky and square earth". The cemetery covered an area of 180,000 square meters, including a wide courtyard, a tall treasure city, and three white marble stone bridges. The Ding Tomb was one of the three largest mausoleums of the Ming Dynasty. From 1956 to 1958, archaeological excavation was carried out. It is the only imperial tomb of the Ming Dynasty that has been excavated so far. The underground palace of Dingling Mausoleum was also open for tourists to visit.

Two of the Ming Tombs had been robbed. One was the Ming Dingling Mausoleum of Emperor Wanli Zhu Yijun, which was destroyed after archaeological excavation. The other was the Ming Si Mausoleum of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, which had been dug up and destroyed many times. Other than that, most of the tombs had not been stolen or excavated. As for the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty, almost all the underground palaces of the Qing Eastern Mausoleum had been opened. The Qing Western Mausoleum was better preserved than the three mausoleums outside the Pass, but the Chongling Mausoleum of Guangxu had also been dug up. The situation in the other mausoleums was not mentioned.

I'm not sure specifically where the tombs in the 'tombs of the kings story' are located without more context. They could be in various places around the world. Some well - known places for kingly tombs are in Egypt, like the Valley of the Kings. But it could also be in other regions with ancient kingdoms such as Asia or South America.

The Ming Tombs Cemetery in Changping District of Beijing mainly consisted of Jingyang Garden, Deling Cemetery, and Panlongtai Cemetery. Jingyang Garden was located in the west of the Ming Tombs Scenic Area. It was the location of the Changling Tomb of Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di and the Jingling Tomb of Emperor Xuanzongzhang Zhu Zhanji. Deling Cemetery and Panlongtai Cemetery were located to the east of the Ming Tombs, Deling and Yongling, echoing Jingling. These three mausoleums all had beautiful natural environments and modern cemetery facilities, very suitable for modern burial.

The Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty was located 30 kilometers northwest of Zunhua City, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. It was the largest, most complete, and most appropriate imperial tomb complex in China. The Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty was built in 1661 and lasted for 247 years. There were a total of 217 palaces and archways, forming 15 mausoleums. There were five emperors, 15 empresses, 136 concubines, three princes, and two princesses buried in the mausoleum. The Eastern Qing Tomb was listed as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units, and was listed in the World Heritage List and rated as the first batch of AAA-level tourist attractions in the country.
