Zhuhou Mingning King Temple - Huashan Hall Introduction

The Ningjing Wang Tomb is located in Hunei Township, Hunei Village and is designated as a national third-level historical site. Its main entrance is styled as a paifang (traditionally decorated archway). Ningjing Wang was a descendant of the ninth grandson of the Ming Dynasty's founding emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang. In the 37th year of the Yongli reign, Zheng Zhilong surrendered to the Qing dynasty, and Ningjing Wang took his own life. The local people admired his loyalty and buried him alongside his wife, Lady Luo, in the bamboo forest of Hunei Village, constructing over a hundred false tombs to mislead the Qing soldiers during the search. The tomb was only discovered in the 26th year of the Republic of China and was renovated with a monument after the recovery of Taiwan. The main axis of the Ming Ningjing Wang Tomb park features a sloping path that divides the area into two sections. A stone marker inscribed with "Ningjing Wang Tomb" stands nearby, introducing the life of Ningjing Wang. Two stone lions stand on either side of the tomb, and the garden on the right features a stone water basin with an octagonal pavilion. In front of the tomb, a square hosts two century-old banyan trees, providing ample shade and creating a remarkable sight. The tomb area is surrounded by a landscaped garden with pools, pavilions, and an abundance of flowers and trees, making the site appear neat and serene.
