Xixia Imperial Tombs
Located in the foothills of the southern Helan Mountains in Ningxia, this necropolis is the imperial cemetery of the Xixia Dynasty. It includes nine imperial mausoleums, 271 subordinate tombs, a northern architectural complex, and 32 flood control structures. Founded by the Tanguts in 1038, the Xixia Dynasty lasted until its destruction by Genghis Khan’s Mongol army in 1227. Positioned along the Silk Road, it became a multicultural civilization modelled on Chinese imperial traditions, with Buddhism at its core. The property reflects the dynasty’s religious and socio-political legacy.
西夏陵
西夏陵位于中国宁夏回族自治区、贺兰山南段东麓，是西夏王朝的皇室陵园，包括9座帝王陵墓、271座陪葬墓、5.7公顷北端建筑群以及32处防洪工程遗址。西夏王朝于1032年由党项人建立，一直延续至1227年被成吉思汗的蒙古军队灭亡。王朝扼守古丝绸之路要道，其效法中原王朝制度，形成以佛教信仰为核心、多元文化并存的文明。该遗址生动展现了西夏王朝的宗教与社会政治传统。
