Live Your Best Lives
The Tomb of King Liang is located in the heart of the northern Shandong Plain, 15 kilometers east of Shanghe County. The tomb is 70 meters long from north to south and 50 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of 3,500 square meters. It is 5 meters high and contains over 1,700 cubic meters of earth.
This tomb was built during the Warring States Period, when King Hui of Liang was defeated in his eastern expedition against the State of Qi. His eldest son died in battle and was buried here. According to the old Shanghe County Chronicles, "Northeast of the city lies the tomb of King Liang, and west of the village is a very tall and large tomb. It is topped by a temple with several pillars and a stele with the inscription of King Hui of Liang, 'Defeated in the east by Qi, his eldest son died there and was buried here.'" The soil in the tomb is black clay, containing numerous shells and fragments of Spring and Autumn Period vessels and jars. Over 2,000 years of wind and rain erosion have left it as solid as sand and stone, preserving its original appearance.
Jinan has a temperate monsoon climate with obvious monsoons and distinct four seasons: dry and rainy spring, warm and rainy summer, cool and dry autumn, and cold and snowy winter.
