Western Xia Tombs

On a vast expanse of desert at the foot of Helan Mountains stand a group of tower-like earthen platforms, which have been identified as a burial ground, with at least nine royal tombs and over 250 subordinate tombs of the Western Xia Dynasty, a regime that ruled the Ningxia-Gansu area concurrent to the rule by Song court of the China Central Plains.
