The Introduction of Akaph Khoja Tomb
|
 |
Visitors are not only impressed by the artistic shape and beautiful decoration of the structure, but also keenly interested in the stories behind the cemetery. It is said to have been the eternal place of 72 people belonging to five generations of one family, but only 58 burial mounds have survived from the history weathering. These people were descendants of Abakh Khoja, who enjoyed a great fame and a high religious status, hence the name of the cemetery.

The tomb has another name after Fragrance Concubine (Xiang Fei), who was the favorite one of Qing Emperor Qianlong (1735 – 1795). Legend has it that Qing Dynasty troops went to the aid of a tribe of Uygurs in the far northwest region of Xinjiang and in return for help in winning a civil war against neighboring tribes, the Uygurs presented Emperor Qianlong with a pretty, 22-year-old concubine called Iparkhan.
