The tomb of the Zhengtong Emperor (1427–1442), who famously became emperor twice. Captured by the Mongols after a disastrous military campaign, he was eventually returned to Beijing, but not before another had assumed the title of Son of Heaven in his absence, whom he then dethroned in a palace coup. Not open for visitors.
