The National Archaeological Site Park of Nanchang Han Dynasty Haihun Marquis

8.1
4.7/5
5.6k reviews

The National Archaeological Site Park of Nanchang Han Dynasty Haihun Marquis was developed based on the capital city ruins of Zijingcheng from the Western Han Dynasty Haihun Marquisate, the mausoleum of its first marquise Liu He, and the burial clusters to the west and south of the city. It represents the most well-preserved and structurally intact settlement ruins of a Han Dynasty marquise state capital discovered in China to date. Liu He, the tomb's occupant, was Emperor Wu's grandson who was deposed after merely 27 days on the throne, later becoming the Haihun marquise and moving south before being buried here. Since archaeological excavations began in 2011, over 10,000 artifacts including goldware, bronzes, jades, lacquerware, and bamboo slips have been unearthed, bringing this historically obscure "deposed Han emperor" back into public view with remarkable completeness. The park is divided into six functional zones: the ruins museum area, tomb exhibition area, Zijingcheng exhibition area, archaeological reserve area, entrance service area, and historical experience & ecological leisure area. The visitor center at the entrance adopts the shape of a jade bi disk—its white circular structure resembles a jade button when viewed from above, symbolizing "offering jade to heaven." The ruins museum takes its design inspiration from the dragon-shaped jade artifact unearthed from Liu He's tomb, appearing like a coiled dragon resting between mountains and waters. Permanent exhibitions such as "Golden Haihun," "Scholarly Haihun," and "Vermilion Lacquer Haihun" are housed here, alongside the interactive "Encountering Haihun" gallery. Among the over 1,000 displayed artifacts, gold items like cakes, horse-hoof ingots, unicorn-toe ingots, and plates are arranged in rows—their quantity and variety being exceptionally rare among excavated Han tombs. A complete set of bianzhong bells and bianqing stone chimes shares the stage with a bronze goose-fish lamp, whose curved neck holds a fish; rotating its dish adjusts brightness while smoke filters through water in the goose's belly without escaping, mirroring the ingenuity of the Changxin Palace lamp. A bronze lamp inscribed with "Nanchang" stands as a rare Han-dynasty physical testament to the city's name. Among the over 5,000 bamboo slips unearthed from the tomb of Liu He, the long-lost "Qi version of the Analects" was discovered after being missing for more than 1,800 years. The restoration achievements are showcased in the "Fragrance of Haichun" bamboo slips exhibition, where over a hundred newly restored original slips are displayed alongside Han Dynasty manuscripts like the "Book of Songs." Travelers who appreciate ancient texts and calligraphy will find it worth a closer look. The wooden back of the lacquered mirror depicting Confucius and his disciples features portraits and biographical accounts. While the original is still under restoration, the museum presents a full-scale replica with enlarged images to highlight details—another exhibit not to be missed. Beyond the museum, the Liu He Mausoleum at Guodun Mountain is another key attraction. The mausoleum complex features a trapezoidal layout, with the two main tombs of Liu He and his marquise wife sharing the same burial ground but in separate chambers at the central elevated platform. Surrounding them are auxiliary burial sites and remnants of ritual structures such as ancestral halls, resting chambers, garden walls, and gate towers. Outside the complex lies a rare chariot-and-horse burial pit seldom seen south of the Yangtze River. The Guodun Yuan ruins exhibition area built atop the mausoleum offers a panoramic view of the main tombs' wooden chamber structure from an encircling observation deck, while a 360-degree suspended screen recreates the mausoleum's construction process and Han Dynasty marquise funeral rites. The chariot pit preserves its original excavated state, with a restored quadriga carriage model showcasing the grandeur of Han nobility's travels. The park is planned around the grand heritage site, covering a vast area with its core visitable zones concentrated at the traveler center, ruins museum, and Liu He's tomb complex. The Zijingcheng city site is primarily preserved in its original state, so focus your visit on the museum and tomb area. As distances between zones are considerable, shuttle services are available—we recommend allocating half a day. The Han-style gate towers and golden imperial carriage at the entrance are popular photo spots. Throughout the park, Han cultural activities like costume parades and themed markets occasionally take place; keep an eye out while exploring the exhibitions.

Highly recommended! The artifacts are excellent value for money, and the explanations are superb. At first glance, I was worried the guide's explanations wouldn't be in-depth, but she was truly outstanding—no wonder she's a top-notch guide! Plus, she's beautiful, haha! Visually pleasing and auditorily enriching—perfect! I give her a 10/10. Honestly, the guide at the Jiangxi Museum in the afternoon was a different story; I couldn't understand a thing.

Teacher Chenxi's lectures were excellent and very engaging; I gained a lot of useful but ultimately useless knowledge. The reception staff were rather incompetent, constantly trying to get me to change my schedule to the morning or earlier, until I finally had no choice but to transfer me to Teacher Chenxi's group.

Although it's a man-made scenic area created by a dam, it's absolutely worth the price. The water and sky blend seamlessly, islands are scattered like stars, and floating bridges and boats are very convenient. The weather was perfect when we went, and everything was just right.

The scenery is beautiful. We happened to be drizzling, and the rising mist over the islands reflected in the clear water, creating a scene like a fairyland. The nine islands scattered across the lake are all connected by boardwalks, offering stunning views. However, it's quite strenuous on your legs. It takes about three hours to travel from one island to the other by boat, and there are no other means of transportation. It's reasonably enjoyable, but those with less stamina are advised to take a boat back halfway through or take a boat to a fishing village for lunch before returning.

This free waterway highway is hidden in Wucheng, Jiangxi. It's recommended to arrive around 5:30 PM, as you can observe migratory birds against the backdrop of the sunset! Even during the dry season, it's worth a visit! A truly spectacular sight! A scenic spot that isn't yet widely known – go check it out!

The building has a very distinctive exterior, and there's a huge parking lot at the entrance that connects to the hotel, so you don't have to worry about rainy days. The venue itself isn't very large, but it's packed with content, showcasing knowledge about migratory birds and wetland ecology, and also offering interactive experiences. It's definitely worth a visit!

At the Haihunhou Cemetery, you can experience the scale and style of Han tombs firsthand. The shuttle bus ride from the museum to the cemetery takes about 3 minutes. You can also see the surrounding auxiliary tombs within the cemetery, making for a great experience.

It's my first time to visit Wangshanku. Parking at the door is very convenient and free. We have a tourist card and can enter for free. However, it is still under construction and there are some retro things inside.

The water park didn't open until after 7 o'clock, so I soaked in the hot springs first. After the water park opened, I went to play and had a lot of fun. I was supposed to go to Zhelin Old Town, but I ended up playing on the slide until almost 10 o'clock.
