Hongzhou Prince. It is located in the side of Fengshan Mountain and in front of Linshan Mountain of the village of Xiangbeigongshang in the original Xiejiashan Mountain in Miyun.

The cemetery occupies nine hectares with pines in it, which stand in rows and ranks in line in a solemn silence.
 
The Tomb of Anding Prince

The tomb of Anding Prince, commonly known as the Tomb of Prince, is the grave of the eldest, the third and the fifth sons of Qianlong Emperor. It is located in the area of 2li of Yanggezhuang Village of the present Bulaotun Town with quite excellent geomancy. Buried here are Qianlong Emperor’s eldest son Anding Prince Yonghuang, third one Xunjun Prince Yongzhang and fifth one Rongchun Prince Yongqi. The three princes all died young, with Yonghuang dying at 23, Yongzhang and Yongqi both at 26. The Tomb of Prince was well preserved until 1958. It was completely removed because of the construction of Miyun Reservoir. As the underground Palace had never been stolen, there were rich sacrifices after the palace was dug. Later these sacrifices were moved and collected in the Capital Museum.

The Tomb of Dinggong Prince

Dinggong prince Mian-en was the grandson of Qianlong Emperor, the second son of the eldest prince Yonghuang. He was very famous in history, assuming president of firearms business as long as 53 years. He had experienced three generations: Qianlong, Jiaqing, Daoguang and was a powerful figure. The cemetery of Mianen occupies over 100mu.

Qianlong had written the poem of "Ancient is Miyun County, magnificent is the landscape" for the nice and beautiful landscape of Miyun, and his younger brother, son, grandson were all buried here, all of which were enough to show his favor for the landscape of Miyun.
