The tomb is the largest of all tombs built during the Han Dynasty.
It is also well known as "Great White Pyramid" since U.S. Army Air Corps pilot James Gaussman saw it as "a white jewel-topped pyramid during a flight between India and China during World War II" (see Chinese pyramids).

It is a trapezoidal tumulus built from rammed earth with a rectangular base which measures 222 by 217 metres (728 by 712 ft) and a height of 47 metres (154 ft).
