Sharing my one-day tour experience of the Ming Tombs, I just got back

I went out at 9 o'clock in the morning by myself, took the subway, bus, and walked to visit all the open attractions of the Ming Tombs, and left the scenic area at 5 o'clock in the evening, took the 872 bus home, went through various situations such as borrowing a power bank and having lunch, so the experience I shared is really useful! 【Basic Situation】 1⃣️You don't need to visit all 13 tombs, only 3 are currently open + 1 Sacred Way, which equals 4 attractions, the others are not open; among them, Dingling has the most people/groups 2⃣️If you want to visit several, you must arrive before 11 o'clock, it takes 1 day to visit, they don't let you in at 16:30, and close at 17:00 3⃣️There is a lack of food and drink near the scenic area, it is recommended to bring your own, only Dingling has merchants, but a bowl of noodles is 38, which is very expensive, sausage is 6 per piece 4⃣️The "Ming Tombs Tourist Center" at the entrance of Dingling (not the Dingling Tourist Center) can rent mobile power supplies 5⃣️It is recommended to join a guided tour, it is interesting to listen to the stories, and the price is very affordable 【About the Attractions】 1⃣️Tickets: 4 attractions joint ticket💰95; single purchase Dingling💰40, Changling💰30, Zhaoling💰20, Sacred Way💰20, the guides in each scenic area are around 💰30 per person 2⃣️Sacred Way: 30min is enough, the emperor and empress's coffins were sent to the thirteen tombs via the Sacred Way (P16-18) 3⃣️Changling: The mausoleum of Emperor Chengzu Zhu Di, the location is very good and high, you can see other tombs from the top (P2-7) 4⃣️Dingling: The mausoleum of Emperor Wanli, the only one with an open underground palace (where the coffin is placed), but it is also the place where Li Zicheng burned it down (P9-12) 5⃣️Zhaoling: The tomb of Emperor Muzong Zhu Zaiji, which is relatively small (P13-15) 【Route】 1⃣️If you are in a hurry, follow the importance level: Changling-Dingling-Sacred Way (Zhaoling can be visited or not) 2⃣️If you want to go to all, follow the distance: Sacred Way-Changling-Dingling-Zhaoling 【Transportation】 1⃣️Firstly, it is recommended to drive by yourself: The Ming Tombs are 40-50 kilometers away from Beijing, and the tombs are far apart from each other; parking at Dingling and Changling parking lots costs 5 per time for small cars, unlimited time, parking at Sacred Way and Zhaoling is free 2⃣️Bus: Take the subway to "Jishuitan Station", walk 5min to Deshengmen and take the 872 bus (starting) directly to the Sacred Way, Dingling, and Changling of the Ming Tombs; 872 runs every half an hour, departs every half hour and on the hour 3⃣️The Sacred Way is 6-7 kilometers away from several tombs, you need to take a bus or taxi; it takes 15min to walk from Changling to Dingling, and 15min to walk from Dingling to Zhaoling, there are buses but the wait is too long 4⃣️There are black cars at the entrance of each scenic area, which can take you to other nearby tombs, 20 per person, I think it's not worth it In summary, this is my recent real experience, feel free to ask at any time~
