Nanyue Kingdom Palace Museum, Archaeological museum in Guangzhou, China

The Nanyue Kingdom Palace Museum occupies a 150,000-square-metre archaeological site at 316 Zhongshan 4th Road in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou. Its excavated remains include a stone-lined garden pond and a curving canal from the Nanyue royal garden, the foundation and drainage apron of a large Nanyue palace hall, and the brick floors of a Nanhan palace. Around 3,000 square metres of restored remains and a selection of finds from over 10,000 excavated objects are on display.

The site holds the ruins of the Nanyue Kingdom Palace, which served as a political and economic center of the region during its existence. Its establishment marked a turning point in the development of these southern territories, which developed differently from northern centers.

The site's name comes from the Nanyue kingdom, and its excavated palace and garden remains are presented in the museum. Finds include tiles stamped with characters such as 官, 公, 宫 and 居室, and a potsherd bearing 华音宫, suggesting the name of Palace No. 2. Over 100 wooden slips found in 2005 are records from the palace archive.

The site entrance is at 316 Zhongshan 4th Road in Yuexiu District, not on Beijing Road. About 3,000 square metres of restored remains opened to the public on 11 June 2006, with selected pieces from over 10,000 excavated objects on display. The excavated zones lie partly under open sky and partly under cover, so light varies between sections.

A royal garden discovered within the palace grounds ranks among the earliest documented examples of garden architecture in Chinese history. This garden reveals how landscape design and aesthetics were already important parts of court life at that time.
