The eunuch Tianyi Tomb

The eunuch Tianyi Tomb is on the west side of Beijing, SiJingShan, only 20km from the city. It has the largest eunuch tomb complex and a memorial to eunuchs. The main tomb was built to salute the life of eunuch Tian, who served three generations of Ming emperors. He is the only eunuch who enjoyed grave complex similar to that of the Ming Emperors’ Tombs: a sacred way with sculptures of horses, elephants, etc., and underground graves.
In the compound, there is a Beijing Eunuch Museum where one can learn all the history and stories of Chinese eunuch.
