Modest earthen burial mound of a disgraced emperor, ringed by reliefs and golden ginkgo groves.
This guide to the Second Emperor's tomb site in Xi'an contrasts it with the terracotta army just miles away, built for Qin Shi Huang, who chased immortality and died in 210 BC on tour, far from home. It traces what happened next: chancellor Li Si and eunuch Zhao Gao hid his body for two months, forged an order pushing his elder son toward suicide, and crowned the unready younger son Huhai as Qin Er Shi instead. Ginkgo trees still ring the modest earthen mound behind you.
