The Western Xia Tombs are a group of ancient burial sites located in northwestern China, specifically in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. They were built for the rulers and nobles of the Western Xia Dynasty, which existed from 1038 to 1227. The tombs are known for their unique architecture, combining elements of Chinese and Tibetan styles, and are often adorned with intricate carvings and inscriptions. Discovered in the early 20th century, the Western Xia Tombs provide valuable insights into the culture and history of the Tangut people, who established the dynasty. The site includes over 200 tombs, many of which remain unexplored, making it an important archaeological location for understanding the region's past.
