Museum of the Nanyue King

南越王博物院(王墓展区)

This 2000 year old tomb of the Nanyue King Zhao Mo was only discovered in 1983 in the old city and is now a museum of artifacts found at the site, with access to the tomb itself revealing a fascinating peek into the culture of the time (the fact that 15 people were buried alive in the tomb with the king remains a disturbing fact even thousands of years later).
