Page 12: Unit 1 Cultural Relics In Search of the Amber Room Reading

Xiangfei Tomb under Repair Xiangfei Tomb is located in the north of Kashgar. Xiangfei, one of Qianlong Emperor favored concubines( 妃 ), was buried in it. It was built many years ago. It took the artists several years to build it. The tomb is made up of a few buildings. Although it serves as a tomb, the design is good and the walls are very beautiful. However, the death of Xiangfei remains a mystery. A tale says that she was forced to kill herself for some reason. It is also said that she died of a serious illness. But some even say that she was murdered by the emperor’s mother. At present, the repair work is being carried out by the local government. There is no doubt that the decorations on the wall were damaged with time passing by. In order to protect it, the government spent much money repairing it and had some modern buildings around it removed.
