    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.

      Location: Situated in the western section of Moshikou Street, Shijingshan District

      The XianDe Shrine comprises a gate tower, ornamental columns, stone statues, the Lingxing Gate, a stele pavilion, and pavilion halls. Its design is ingeniously conceived, with vivid and finely detailed carvings.

      The ShouYu consists of the tomb gate, spirit way, and burial complex. The tomb enclosure, the Five Offerings altar, and the offering table are all adorned with exquisitely crafted patterns depicting mythological tales and historical stories. The designs are innovative, the carvings lifelike and remarkably detailed, demonstrating masterful technique and exceptional artistry. They are considered treasures of Chinese stone carving art, and their well-preserved condition is rare not only in Beijing but across the nation.
