Traveler reviews
Haruka Glory
★★★★★3 months agoAmazing historical museum built on the tomb that was discovered. The jade burial suit is the only such suit found in the entire world. If you want to go to the tomb advise you buy the ticket in advance as it is limited entry. However all the artefacts already moved to the museum on top so there is nothing interesting to see inside the tomb except the stone chambers. Highly recommend to visit for historical lovers.

★★★★★10 months agoA fascinating and well-organized museum, not too big but packed with impressive relics, detailed exhibitions, and the stunning jade burial suit that really brings history to life. The layout makes it easy to explore without feeling overwhelming, and everything is displayed with great care. It’s a pity the underground tomb was closed for renovation during my visit, but overall it’s still a very rewarding and highly recommended stop when visiting Guangzhou.
