The Tomb of the Queen in the Chu King's Mausoleum on Longquan Mountain is a cultural tourism attraction.

Traveling southeast out of downtown Wuhan, passing through Zhifang Town in Wuchang County and continuing eastward for about twenty kilometers, you will arrive at the picturesque Longquan Mountain, where the Chu King's Mausoleum is located.

This Chu King's Mausoleum is not from the Chu Kingdom of the Spring and Autumn or Warring States periods, but was established in the 14th year of the Hongwu reign during the Ming Dynasty (1381), when Zhu Yuanzhang’s sixth son, Zhu Zhen, was enfeoffed as the King of Chu, designating this place as the royal burial ground. Later, the tombs of Kings Zhuang, Xian, Kang, Jing, Duan, Min, and Gong were also well preserved, collectively becoming the famous “Eight Kings’ Tombs.” In addition, the tomb of Prince He, Hua Kui, is also located here, bringing the total to nine mausoleums. Within the mausoleum complex, there are also nine stele pavilions, turtle-shaped steles, a Ming-style tower with halls, an altar platform, an arched bridge, and the Nine-Dragon Platform, among other structures.
