The Fu Mausoleum (Fú Líng, 福陵) or East Tomb is the final resting place of Nurhaci, the great Manchu leader and founder of the Qing state, and his wife, Empress Xiao Ci. A UNESCO world heritage site, the Fu Mausoleum is listed as an extension of the Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Bejiing and Shenyang.

Showcasing masterful Manchu architecture, the East Tomb incorporates elements of traditional Chinese feng shui. The tomb stands on the western edge of Dongling Park (Dōng Líng Gōngyuán, 东菱公园), near Tianzhu Mountain (Tiānzhù Shān, 天柱山).

With its abundance of cedar trees, pavilions, gates, statuary and other displays, the park and tomb are a great full-day activity, but travlers in a rush can also see the most important sites in just a few hours.
