Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb

Hong Kong Museum of History

This ancient brick tomb is commonly believed to have been built during AD 25 -220.
The tomb was discovered in August 1955,
when the Hong Kong Government was leveling a hill slope for construction of resettlement buildings.

Mysterious atmosphere... this time it's your pic that brought back memories - I recall how I was scared to death when my parents brought me here, almost 40 years ago!!
