Here I saw the underground palace of Tomb Raiders...

Stepping into the Ming Shu King’s Tomb is like opening a door of time and space leading to the Ming Dynasty. This royal mausoleum complex sleeping underground in Chengdu, with its magnificent underground palaces, exquisite stone carvings and mysterious funeral ceremonies, interprets the epic story of life and death of the Ming Dynasty princes, and solidifies the splendor of Shu 600 years ago into an eternal feast of art.
✨ Three must-see highlights
1. Aesthetics of the Underground Palace: The underground palace of the Xiwang Mausoleum recreates the grandeur of the royal palace with a "five-story palace" layout. The dome caisson is carved with auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts, and the white marble door guards the thousand-year-old secret treasure. Every inch of the stone wall is a solidified textbook of royal aesthetics.
2. The pinnacle of stone carving art: The museum’s treasure, the “Imperial Couch with Dragon Pattern,” is carved from a single stone, with nine dragons entwined and rising, with the scales and patterns clearly visible; the stone statues on the Shinto Road are majestic and can be called a “textbook” of Ming Dynasty stone carving art.
3. Immersive historical theater: The AR guided tour unveils the mystery of the "Funeral Ceremony of Emperors of the Ming Dynasty". The lights in the underground palace change with the explanation, allowing visitors to become "archaeologists" and "touch time" with their own hands.
