Tianshou Mountain

Tianshou Mountain (simplified Chinese: 天寿山; traditional Chinese: 天壽山; pinyin: Tiānshòu Shān) is located in the north of Changping District, Beijing. It was originally named Huangtu Mountain (黃土山), also known as Dongshan (東山), or Dongzhazi Mountain (東榨子山). In 1409 (Yongle 7), the Yongle Emperor ordered the construction of imperial tombs on the mountain, hence the name change to Tianshou Mountain. From the Yongle Emperor onwards, all Ming emperors (except for the Jingtai Emperor, who was buried in Jinshan, now known as Yuquan Mountain) were buried in Tianshou Mountain, making it the location of the Ming tombs.
