Gallery | 81 : Ming Tomb Warrior

Warrior guardian on path to the Ming Tombs, Beijing where the emperors of the Ming Dynasty and their families are buried.

In China it is the road to the ancient tombs that is often grander than the tombs themselves.

We also have another photograph of another type of guardian - a mythical beast.

This archive photograph was taken by a SACU member in the early 1980s.
