Tomb of the King of Dongning (明寧靖王墓) - Spectral Codex

Zhu Shugui (朱術桂), the King of Dongning (寧靖王), surrendered to the Qing dynasty and committed suicide along with several of his servants and concubines. He was buried in Hunei, but his tomb was intentionally obscured with hundreds of decoys to prevent desecration, and not rediscovered until 1937.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
