The Tomb of Eunuch Tian Yi is on the west of Beijing, 20km from the downtown. As the largest eunuch tomb complex, the main tomb was built to salute the life of eunuch Tian, who served three generations of Ming emperors. He is the only eunuch who enjoyed grave complex similar to that of the Ming Emperors' Tombs: a sacred way with sculptures of horses, elephants, etc., and underground graves. In the compound, there is a Beijing Eunuch Museum where one can learn all the history and stories of Chinese eunuch. Photo by Wangjifeixia/Fengniao.com.
