Where is the tomb of Queen Xiaozhuang of the Qing Dynasty?
It is located on the east side of Dahongmen of the Qing Dynasty Tomb in Zunhua City, Hebei Province.
The Zhaoxiling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen of Borjigit’s Bumbutai family. It is located on the east side of Dahongmen of the Qingdong Tomb in Zunhua City, Hebei Province. It was built on the third day of February in the third year of Yongzheng's reign. On the tenth day of December of the same year, Empress Xiaozhuang Wen was buried in the underground palace. Zhaoxi Mausoleum is the second empress mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty and the highest-level empress mausoleum.
In the twenty-sixth year of Kangxi (1687), Empress Xiaozhuangwen died of illness and ordered that she be buried near Xiaoling. In the end, the Kangxi Dynasty failed to solve the problem of Queen Xiaozhuang Wen's mausoleum. In the third year of Yongzheng (1725, the 100th anniversary of the marriage between Huang Taiji and Xiaozhuang), Emperor Shizong believed that the country had prospered since Queen Xiaozhuang Wen temporarily settled down, and that the saint's reign was long and his descendants were prolific. The Fengdian Hall was renamed Zhaoxi Mausoleum. The construction started on the third day of the second month of the third year of Yongzheng's reign, and Empress Xiaozhuang Wen was buried in the underground palace on the tenth day of December of the same year. Due to terrain reasons, no ditches and bridges and culverts were built.

Qing Dynasty royal mausoleums:
The Qing mausoleums include the three mausoleums of Shengjing (Qingyong Mausoleum in Xinbin, Liaoning, Qingfulum Mausoleum and Qingzhao Mausoleum in Shenyang), Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty (Qing Xiaoling Tomb, Qing Jingling Tomb, Qing Yuling Tomb, Qing Dingling Tomb, Qing Huiling Tomb, Qing Zhaoxiling Tomb) in Zunhua, Hebei Province, and Western Qing Tombs (Qing Tailing Tomb, Qing Changling Tomb, Qing Muling Tomb, Qing Changling Mausoleum, Qing Muling Tomb, Qing Changling Tomb in Yixian County, Hebei Province).
Qing Zhaoling, the mausoleum of Taizong Huang Taiji, the second generation of the founding monarch of the Qing Dynasty, is located ten miles north of the ancient city of Shenyang (Shengjing), so it is also called "Beiling". The cemetery covers an area of 160,000 square meters. The plane layout of the building follows the mausoleum principle of "facing the front and sleeping in the back". It is composed of three parts: front, middle and back from south to north. The main buildings are built on the central axis and arranged symmetrically on both sides, imitating the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty. The mausoleum also has the characteristics of Manchu mausoleums.
The Zhaoling Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty is the mausoleum of Huang Taiji, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, and the Borjigit family of Xiaoduanwen. In addition to the emperors and empresses, the Zhaoling Mausoleum also contains the concubines of Linzhi Palace and Shufei of Laoqing Palace. It is the most representative imperial mausoleum among the mausoleums outside the Guan Dynasty in the early Qing Dynasty. It is one of the most complete ancient imperial mausoleum buildings in China. In 1982, the Qing Zhaoling Mausoleum was announced by the State Council as the second batch of national key cultural relics protection units
