    Quiet corner in a residential district. A real monument that is rare in Hong Kong. Particularly special because it’s in the middle of a housing estate.

    If you’re in the SSP area, doesn’t hurt to take five mins to stop by. Gives some context to the area and history on the Kowloon Walled City. Not worth a separate trip though. There’s a park next door with great sculptures and old men with their singing birds. Tons of fab new cafes and bars a couple blocks away in the new SSP area.

    It takes about 15 minutes walk from Cheung Sha Wan station to The Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum. You can get a lot of information about the tomb and the finding from this small Museum. Furthermore, it also tell you the development of Silk Road since Han Dynasty. Guaranteed you can get a valuable history lesson from the Museum. Not only information, you may see the Tomb from the glass panel although you cannot enter into it. Don't forget going to the Han Garden just adjacent to the Museum

    Fantastic little museum giving a summary of the silk road development of the time, and details of artifacts found inside the tomb. Small and a huge amount to see but definitely worth a visit. The park next door is stunning as well. You can't go inside, but can see in through a glass panel.

    Nice place for some historical findings in Hong Kong on ancient Han dynasty civilisation. A mere 30 minutes tour will suffice for the whole area with some photo shoots around the garden area. Free entrance.

  • 3/5 Yu Chun W. 7 years ago on Google
    It is a really tiny place only taking you 10 minutes to visit. But the tomb and the objects found in the tomb were well preserved! You will learn some history of the early Hong Kong. Recommend if you've got much times.

    Much smaller than expected, this is the only view of the interior of the tomb, behind à glass window, still interesting to see though.

    You can peer into the tomb through a glass window. Pottery and bronze items found in the tomb are on display and there's information boards on the history of the site. Next to the tomb there's a beautiful Han Chinese themed park.

    Very small museum. Hardly any exhibits, but it's worth a visit, you can know more about Han Dynasty burial sites here at this museum.

  • 5/5 Tiffany M. 1 year ago on Google • 23 reviews
    First discovered during construction in 1955, this tomb dates back to the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 CE) It's built with four chambers. The front chamber had a barrel-vaulted roof, the rear chamber has a niche at its center, and two side chambers to the left and right All texts on the panela are in both English and Chinese

  • 4/5 Ola A. 5 years ago on Google
    The place is modern and well managed. But the actual tomb was not like what I had in my mind. And we can only see the tomb through the glass.

  • 4/5 Peter N. 4 years ago on Google
    Nice cultural visit to a 2000uear old tomb. When constructed this would have had sea views. Shows how much land reclimation has occured here.

    (Translated by Google) There are not many things to see in the small museum, but knowing the history of the tomb of Li Zhengwu Han, I also buried some things and sentiments. Here you may wish to take a seat at the Han Park next door, where there are pavilions and corners, and there is a stone mountain to spend a relaxing afternoon. It's a pity that the current outbreak is in June 2020, so the pool water is drained. (Original) 小小的博物館裏面可以看的東西不多,但是知道了李鄭屋漢墓嘅歷史,同埋一些事一些情。到這裏不妨到隔壁漢公園坐一坐,那裏有亭臺樓角,有石山可以有度過一個放鬆的下午。有點兒可惜是現在疫情下2020年6月,所以池水是抽乾的。
