Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum

Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum, Archaeological museum in Cheung Sha Wan, Hong Kong.

Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum is an archaeological museum built around a preserved Eastern Han tomb in Cheung Sha Wan, Hong Kong. The brick structure comprises four chambers arranged in a cruciform layout, with a central dome rising above the burial room and three adjoining barrel-vaulted chambers.

The tomb was uncovered in 1955 when workers prepared the site for housing development, revealing a structure dating from 25 to 220 AD. Inscribed bricks found inside link the burial to Panyu county, demonstrating the reach of Han administration into this southern territory.

The brick sides carry inscriptions such as "Daji Panyu" and "Panyu Dazhi Calendar", which place the Hong Kong region under Panyu county of Nanhai commandery in Eastern Han times. Another stamp, "Xue Shi", is thought to be the name of the brickmaker. The exhibition hall also presents a section on Han food and drink, opening with the saying that food is the first necessity of the people.

The site opens daily except Thursdays from 10 AM to 6 PM, with Thursday opening on public holidays, and charges no entry fee. The burial chamber itself is sealed behind glass at the entrance passage, allowing observation without entering the controlled interior.

Some tomb bricks carry stamped inscriptions on their sides, including "Daji Panyu" (Great Fortune to Panyu) and "Xue Shi", likely the name of the brickmaker. The tomb was found by accident on 9 August 1955 during slope levelling for the Lei Cheng Uk resettlement estate, and police reportedly drew weapons to stop artefacts being taken.
