" As we all know, the Yellow Emperor is revered as the ancestor of the Chinese nation. As a descendant of the Chinese people, the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor seems to be one of the places that many people must go in this life.
The Mausoleum of Huangdi, located in huangling county, Shaanxi Province, is the mausoleum of Xuanyuan, the ancestor of the Chinese nation.
