Zhu Hu Ming Ning King Temple - Hua Shan Hall Introduction

The Tomb of Prince Ningjing is located in Hunei Township, Hunei Village. It is a national third-class historical site, with its main entrance designed in the form of a pai lou (traditional archway). Prince Ningjing was a descendant of the ninth grandson of the Hongwu Emperor and the descendant of the Liaowang. In the 37th year of the Yongli period, Zheng Chenggong surrendered to the Qing dynasty, and Prince Ningjing committed suicide. The villagers, moved by his loyalty and righteousness, buried him alongside Princess Luo in a grove in Hunei Village, constructing over a hundred fake tombs to mislead the Qing army's search. The actual site was discovered only in the 26th year of the Republic of China, and after the restoration, a monument was erected post-liberation. The main axis slope of the Ming Prince Ningjing Tomb park runs through the area, dividing the cemetery into two parts. A stone monument inscribed with "Tomb of Prince Ningjing" stands nearby, introducing the life of Prince Ningjing. On both the left and right sides in front of the tomb are stone lions. The right side garden features a stone pond with an octagonal pavilion above it. In front of the tomb square, two hundred-year-old banyan trees provide a canopy, creating a magnificent sight. The surrounding area of the tomb is landscaped as a wooded garden, with a pond, pavilion, and various flowering plants, making the cemetery appear neat and tranquil.
