Museum of the Tomb of Han Guangling King Yangzhou, China


The museum of Guangling King’s Tomb in Han Dynasty is located in the East of scenic spots and historic sites of Yangzhou Shugang. Covering an area of 33,000 square meters, it is a cemetery-styled museum in the surrounding of rolling hills. Its grand and grave structure half hides in the stretches of green is a combination of historical relics and traditional gardens which displays the historical and cultural heritage of Yangzhou in Han Dynasty. The central exhibition hall displays the tomb of Liu Xu, the first Guangling King of the West Han Dynasty. The royal coffin “Huang Chang Ti Cou” is large-scaled with meticulous structure. It is one of the rare large tombs of Han Dynasty with more than two thousand years of history.

Tianshan town has received its name from its best known natural feature, the Shenju Hill (神居山, literally "home of the spirits"; 32°39′40″N 119°13′29″E), formerly known as "Tianshan" (literally, "heavenly mountain"). Although it is not tall (no more than 50 m above the sea level),[1] it is a basaltic extinct volcano, the only extinct volcano in Yangzhou Prefecture. The tomb of Liu Xu (刘胥), the ruler the Guangling state within the Han Empire, was located at the depth of 25 m inside the extinct volcano. The largely intact tomb was excavated by Chinese archaeologists in 1979-1980. Later, the tomb was re-created, with the original artifacts on display, in a purpose-built museum (Han Guangling Royal Tomb Museum, 汉广陵王墓博物馆) in Yangzhou. Although the original funeral jade shroud of Liu Xiu (d. 55 BCE) has been removed to the National Museum of China in Beijing, a full-scale replica is housed here.
