The Yongling lies at the foot of Qiyun Hill in Yongling Town, Xinbin, Fushun. Originally called the Xingjing Tomb, it holds the ancestors of the Qing founder Nurhaci, and is the earliest Qing imperial cemetery and the smallest of the Three Tombs of Shengjing. The cemetery is built against the hill, with red walls, the stele pavilions of the four ancestors and a square citadel. It is part of the World Heritage Imperial Tombs of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Liang Sicheng notes that the Qing tombs outside the Pass are the Yongling, Fuling and Zhaoling.
