Jingling was completed in 1681. It is the burial place of Kangxi, 2nd Qing Emperor, who died in 1722. Also in the tomb were his 4 Empresses (Xiao Cheng, Xiao Zhao, Xiao Yi & Xiao Gong) and Jingmin HuangGuiFei ("huangguifei" is the highest rank of concubine). Nearby (1km to SE) is the "Twin Feis' Tomb" where two other Kangxi huangguifeis (Quehui & Dunyi) are buried.
