## About Fuling Tomb of the Qing Dynasty (Eastern Mausoleum)

Fuling is the tomb of Qing Emperor Taizu Nurhaci and Empress Xiaoci Gao of the Yehe Nara clan. Because it lies on Shenyang's eastern outskirts, it is also known as the Eastern Mausoleum (东陵).
The '108 steps' (一百零八磴), built into the natural terrain, symbolize the 36 Heavenly Generals and 72 Earthly Fiends and are a defining feature of Fuling.

## Tips from the guidebook
