Last Friday I took advantage of the good weather and went out to the tea plantation with a friend. After the normal tea tour, tea testing etc... we didn't directly walk back to the main road, but took a small path around the plantation.
After crossing a small stream we were directly on ground of the old Ming Tombs. This part of the area has not been restored and looks like nobody visited it for quite some time.
If you walk around, you will find many old statues and other broken remnants of the graves of the Ming Princes. One of the tombs actually has been restored by the government, but the entrance fee for seeing two restored gate houses and a hill of mud is not really worth it. Discovering the unrestored part of the tombs is much more satisfying.
