GUIDE TO NANCHANG HAN DYNASTY HAIHUN MARQUIS
Han Dynasty tomb site with rich historic cultural relics and heritage.
Nanchang Han Dynasty Haihun Marquis Park, a preeminent archaeological landmark located in Xinjian District, Nanchang City, is celebrated as a "National Archaeological Site Park" and the "Pinnacle of Western Han Marquisate Studies." Spanning 12.03 square kilometers, it enchants visitors with its 2,000-year-old remains—including the "Zijin City" (the only intact Han Dynasty marquisate capital), 12 noble tombs (headed by the 4,000㎡ Liu He Mausoleum), and 1,000+ hectares of commoner burial grounds—each stone and artifact whispering of Han Dynasty politics, rituals, and daily life.
The park features iconic highlights: the "Liu He Mausoleum Exhibition Hall" (displaying 10,000+ unearthed treasures, from 478 gold pieces to the earliest "Confucius Portrait", and a life-size replica of the marquis’ chariot), the "Zijin City Relic Area" (preserved rammed-earth city walls and drainage systems, marking the administrative heart of the Haihunhou fiefdom), and the "Han Culture Experience Zone" (where visitors don Han-style robes, learn bamboo-slip calligraphy, or participate in "ancestor worship" rituals using replicas of bronze ritual vessels). Steeped in the legacy of Liu He—emperor for 27 days, then marquis for 11—it hosts the annual "Haihunhou Cultural Festival," featuring reenactments of Han Dynasty court ceremonies, academic forums on marquisate systems, and lantern displays illustrating the "27 Days as Emperor" historical mystery.
Today, the Han Dynasty Haihun Marquis Park remains a top cultural destination, attracting millions annually to tour the "Golden Artifact Hall" (showcasing 378 gold cakes—the largest Han gold hoard ever found), walk the "Tomb Path of Marquis" (paved with original Han bricks), or attend lectures on the "Mystery of Haihunhou’s Demise." It stands as a window into antiquity—where every bronze mirror reflects a bygone era, every jade pendant carries royal legacy, and every visit connects modern eyes to the grandeur of Han China.
