The reasons why it is not recommended to go to the Ming Tombs include: too many tourists, high ticket prices, inconvenient transportation, etc.

1. Too many tourists

The Ming Tombs is an attraction in Beijing, attracting a large number of tourists every year. However, due to too many tourists, the environment of the Ming Tombs has become overcrowded, and it is difficult for tourists to enjoy enough freedom and tranquility when visiting.

2. The ticket price is high

In addition, the ticket price of the Ming Tombs is also relatively high, and tourists need to pay a certain fee to enter the scenic spot. This may become a burden for some tourists with poor financial conditions, which is why many people do not recommend going to one of the Ming Tombs.

3. Inconvenient transportation

The transportation to the Ming Tombs is relatively inconvenient, and tourists need to travel by bus or drive themselves. Especially during holidays or peak tourist seasons, too many vehicles can cause serious congestion.

The historical evolution of the Ming Tombs:

The construction of the Ming Tombs began in the seventh year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1409), and ended in the early years of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, which lasted for more than 230 years. Thirteen splendid emperor mausoleums were built successively, including Chengzu Changling, Renzong Xianling, Xuanzong Jingling, Yingzong Yuling, Xianzong Maoling, Xiaozong Tailing, Wuzong Kangling, Sejong Yongling, Mu Zong Zhaoling, Shenzong Dingling, Guangzong Qingling, Xizongdeling, Yizongsiling.

Among the 13 mausoleums, Emperor Yongle's Changling, Emperor Jiajing's Yongling and Emperor Wanli's Dingling were all built during his lifetime and are the largest in scale. The rest of the mausoleums were built after his death. It took half a year to build. Because Emperor Chongzhen was the king who lost his country, he did not officially build a mausoleum. The current mausoleum was rebuilt from the tomb of his concubine Tian.
