Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum

The staff are respectful and can speak both Cantonese and Mandarin. The museum is brief but informative and contains all the information you need in a comprehensive format. The ancient artifacts found in the tomb are in a separate display room and the tomb itself can be viewed from behind a glass barrier, very clearly. Especially considering this historic site is free entry, it is a great place I recommend to add to your Kowloon itinerary, especially if you love Chinese or Ancient history!

The Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum is a declared monument in Hong Kong. In 1955, when the government planned to build a resettlement building on Tonkin Street in Cheung Sha Wan, the tomb chamber was accidentally discovered, and the current Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum was built on the original site. Because the integrity of the tomb must be preserved, it is not open to the public. You can only peek through the transparent glass window. A mirror is placed inside, and the reflection from the mirror can be reflected on the roof of the tomb. There are photos and videos in the exhibition hall, and cultural relics such as pottery and bronzes are also on display, allowing you to understand the appearance of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

The Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb is located on Tonkin Street, Cheung Sha Wan, Kowloon, Hong Kong. The tomb was discovered during the construction of Lei Cheng Uk Village in 1955, and a total of 58 cultural relics were excavated. There is no lintel or words in front of the door, and the real tomb chamber can be viewed through glass. Judging from the font and content of the tomb brick inscriptions as well as the unearthed cultural relics, the tomb was built during the Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220 AD). It is the only Eastern Han brick chamber tomb discovered in Hong Kong so far.

The Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb was discovered in 1955 when the government razed the hills in Lei Cheng Uk Village to build resettlement buildings. Based on the shape of the tomb, the inscriptions on the tomb bricks and the unearthed cultural relics, it is inferred that the tomb was built during the Eastern Han Dynasty, from 25 to 220 AD. The Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb was listed as a statutory monument in 1988 and has been preserved forever. In order to stabilize the humidity and temperature inside the Han Tomb and slow down the loss of the tomb, the tomb is not open to the public, but visitors can peek into the interior of the ancient tomb through the glass installed at the entrance of the enchanting path.

The Lei Cheng Uk Tomb is the only ancient tomb of the Han Dynasty in Hong Kong. It was discovered in 1955. The discovery was a stunning achievement. Although it was not a tomb of an emperor or nobleman, but only a tomb with funerary objects, the style of the tomb and the funerary objects in it were already very precious discoveries. Now a small museum has been built on the site, with the unearthed funerary objects displayed to the public, which is well worth a visit.
