Hohhot, China
Zhaojun Tomb
The Zhaojun Tomb, located by the Da Hi River nine kilometers south of Hohhot, Inner Mongolia, is said to be the resting place of Wang Zhaojun, a commoner woman from the Han dynasty who married a Xiongnu Chanyu, nomadic chieftain from the steppes. The tomb is also referred to by its Mongolian name, Temür Urkhu, meaning "Iron Wall". Another nickname, "Green Mound", refers to a legend that in autumn, when grass and trees wither, those plants on the cemetery mound continue to prosper.
