Xixia Mausoleum National Archaeological Site Park (also known as Xixia Royal Mausoleum), located at the foot of Helan Mountain in the western suburbs of Yinchuan City, is the royal mausoleum of the Xixia Dynasty, where many emperors of the Xixia Dynasty were buried. Now there are 9 imperial mausoleums and more than 140 accompanying tombs in the entire mausoleum area, which is one of the largest royal mausoleums in Chinese history. The shape of the mausoleum is different from other Chinese mausoleums, it is in the shape of an inverted corn head. In addition, there are Xixia Museum, Xixia History Art Museum, Xixia Forest of Steles and other facilities and venues in the scenic area to help tourists understand the history and culture behind the mausoleum.
The scenic area currently opens tombs No. 1, 2, and 3 for tourists to visit. Among them, Tomb No. 3 (the "Tai Tomb" of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Xixia) is relatively close to the Xixia History Art Museum and the Xixia Forest of Steles.
The Xixia Dynasty was established by Dangxiang people, and its characters and customs were different from those of the Han people in the Central Plains. After the fall of the dynasty, the cities and history of Xixia mysteriously disappeared in the Gobi, becoming an eternal mystery, which was not discovered and interpreted until modern times. There are a wealth of cultural relics of the Xixia Dynasty in the Xixia Museum, among which many stone carvings in Xixia script and murals with Xixia style are treasures. The free explanations inside the museum are also very exciting, which can help you understand the customs, culture and rise and fall of the mysterious Xixia Dynasty, and you can also visit the royal tomb with more experience.
The Mausoleum of King Hao in the scenic area can be visited closely. The huge inverted semi-circular mausoleum stands on the wasteland. The vicissitudes of history are close at hand, and the ravines at the foot of Helan Mountain in the distance make people feel sad and magnificent.
The Xixia Museum (New Museum) in the scenic area has a new appearance. The display in the museum is divided into six parts: Xixia History, Xixia Culture, Xixia Religious Art, Xixia Social Economy, Xixia Mausoleum, Protection and Inheritance. Nearly 5,000 collections of thangkas, documents, clay sculptures, copper and iron wares, fabrics, and porcelain were exhibited, including a large number of fine cultural relics unearthed during the archaeological research of the Xixia Mausoleum in recent years.
