Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb

A few years ago, my mother was lived in Sham Shui Po and after she married with my father, they moved to the our existing home.

I discovered that there was a place that had declared monument which is called "Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb", it located in Lei Cheng Uk Estate, Sham Shui Po. So we went there for site visit.

A total of 58 pottery and bronze objects were found inside the tomb. Available evidence based on the design of the tomb and the forms of burial objects suggests that it was built during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
In November 1988, the Han Tomb was declared as a gazetted monument by the Hong Kong Government, and it is now protected and preserved permanently under the Antiquities and Monuments Ordinance.

Discovery of the tomb in 1955.

Tomb is not open now, but visitors can through the window to see inside.

 

There is a Exhibition Hall  next to the tomb. The first section is about food and drink in Han as it seems because most of what was found in the Han tomb is related to food. The display of this section begins with the old Chinese adage, 'food is the first necessity of the people'.
