Malanyu (simplified Chinese: 马兰峪; traditional Chinese: 馬蘭峪; pinyin: Mǎlányù) is a town approximately 30 kilometres (19 mi) west of the city of Zunhua, Hebei, China, which administrates the town. It is the location of the final resting place of some of the Qing emperors and empresses.
Malanyu lies about 120 kilometers from the Forbidden City in Beijing. The 78-square-kilometer site, known more widely as the Eastern Qing Tombs, is the burial place for 5 emperors, 15 empresses and 136 imperial concubines within 15 tombs, including the first Qing emperor Shunzhi (1638–1661), China's longest-reigning emperor Kangxi (1654–1722), China's most long-lived emperor Qianlong (1711–1799), and the powerful Dowager-empress Cixi (1835–1908).
