The number one mausoleum in the world is not only the Taihao Mausoleum, but also the Duxiu Garden.

Located in Huaiyang, Zhoukou, Henan, the Taihao Mausoleum is the tomb of Taihao Fuxi, the first of the "Three Emperors". Because Taihao Fuxi was the first of the Three Emperors, his tomb is also known as the number one tomb in the world. Taishan Emperor's Mausoleum covers an area of 875 mu, with a grand and solemn scale. It was first built in the Spring and Autumn period, expanded in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and perfected in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has experienced 3000 years of history and has been worshipped by 52 emperors of various dynasties. Legend has it that it was the place where Fuxi, the ancestor of mankind, settled and slept, and has always been known as the "first ancestral holy land of the world's first dynasty." The grandest hall in the Taishan Mausoleum is called the "Hall of Universal Unity", which is unique in the world. The divination grass of the Eight Trigrams of Heaven and Earth only grows here and in Anyang Yulicheng. It does not grow anywhere else. The most breathtaking sight is the Du Xiu Garden next to the Taihao Mausoleum, where hundreds of magical shapes are created by pruning cypress trees, including the twelve zodiac animals, two dragons playing with a pearl, white birds facing the phoenix, and so on.
