The Western Xia Mausoleum, located at the foot of the Helan Mountains in the western suburbs of Yinchuan City, is the royal mausoleum of the Western Xia Dynasty, where many emperors of the Western Xia Dynasty are buried. There are now 9 imperial mausoleums and more than 140 tombs for burial in the entire mausoleum area, making it one of the largest royal mausoleums in Chinese history.
