Ling Leimen and Ling Dong’s Tomb

Ling Leimen and Ling Dong’s Tomb are cultural heritage sites protected by Panyu District.

Ling Leimen and Ling Dong’s Tomb are located on Feifeng Ridge in Lingbian Village, Shiqi Town, dating back to the Yuan Dynasty.

They were renovated in the fifth year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty (1879) and are large-scale armchair-style tombs constructed from granite. Stone lions and ornamental columns are placed at the entrance of the tomb path, indicating the noble status of the tomb owners—both of whom were Southern Song generals who resisted the Yuan invasion.

On November 8, 2010, the People's Government Office of Panyu District announced Ling Leimen and Ling Dong’s Tomb as part of the first batch of Panyu District Cultural Heritage Protection Units.
