In the downtown area of Chengdu, the provincial capital of Sichuan province, on any given evening, anyone passing by No 10 Yongling Road will see crowds of elderly women dancing from dusk till dark in a small square.
An onlooker that is unfamiliar with the city would probably be surprised to learn that behind the red wall at front of the square is the mausoleum of an emperor.
It is home to the Yongling Museum which houses the mausoleum of Wang Jian (847-918), the founder of the Former Shu Kingdom (907-925) which rose to power during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms (907-960) period.
