About Nanyue King Museum — tomb site

A jade burial suit changes your idea of ceremonial dress. It is part of the collection from the tomb of Zhao Mo, ruler of Nanyue, alongside seals, weapons and utensils that reveal the power of this ancient kingdom.

Mind the address: the museum has separate tomb and palace areas. This itinerary uses the branch near Yuexiu Park; the lower part of the tomb has its own access, separate from the regular ticket.
