General presentation
Huangling et mausolée de l'Empereur Jaune
Ancient cypresses, national sanctuary and Loess plateau surround a high Chinese place of memory.
Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan Temple and Qiaoshan Cypress Forest give the most eloquent landmarks of Huangling and Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor. Together they form a destination where heritage, forests and the countryside meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
