Fangshan Yonggu Mausoleum (English: Fangshan Yonggu Mausoleum)

Japanese: 方山永固陵 - ほうざんえいこりょう（英語表記）Fāng shān Yŏng gù líng

An ancient tomb from the Northern Wei period located in Fangshan Mausoleum, north of Datong City, Shanxi Province, China. It is the tomb of Empress Dowager Hu (Wenming Empress Dowager) Feng, wife of Emperor Wencheng of the Northern Wei period, and to the north is Emperor Xiaowen's longevity tomb (Wannian Hall). Renovation of Yonggu Mausoleum began in 481 (the 5th year of the Taihe era), and the deceased was buried there in 490. The circular tomb measures approximately 117m from north to south, 124m from east to west, and 23m high. The tomb is a multi-chambered tomb consisting of four chambers: a tomb passage, an anterior chamber, a corridor passage, and a posterior chamber, with the total length of the chambers from north to south being 17.6m. A 1976 investigation revealed that the tomb had been robbed before the Zhenglong era (1156-60) of the Jin dynasty, during the Dading era (1161-89) of the Jin dynasty, and during the Guangxu era (1875-1908) of the Qing dynasty.
