　　  Destination Introduction
　　  The Beijing Eunuch Culture Exhibition Hall (Tian Yi’s Tomb) is situated in the western section of Moshikou Street, Shijingshan District. It is the tomb of Tian Yi, the Director of the Directorate of Ceremonial during the Ming Dynasty. Constructed in the 33rd year of the Wanli reign (1605), the cemetery faces south and consists of the XianDe Shrine, the ShouYu (tomb area), and the CiXiang Nunnery. It is enclosed by a stone wall, covering an area of 6,000 square meters. The site includes the tomb of Tian Yi and five other adjacent eunuch tombs. The CiXiang Nunnery serves as its auxiliary structure.

　　　　    Despite having endured over 400 years of history, the architectural layout of Tian Yi’s Tomb remains largely intact. The cemetery is primarily characterized by its stone carvings and sculptures, noted for their high specifications, exquisite and intricate craftsmanship, and rich thematic content.
