A Half-Day Tour of Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb and Lei Cheng Uk Estate

#HongKongInDepthTour The Lei Cheng Uk Estate and Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb in Sham Shui Po offer a travel route rich in history and culture, perfect for visitors who love exploring Hong Kong’s past. Lei Cheng Uk Estate is one of Hong Kong’s early public housing projects, witnessing the city’s development changes. The Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb is Hong Kong’s only Eastern Han Dynasty brick chamber tomb, discovered in 1955 and declared a declared monument. On the day of the tour, you can first visit the Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum (I remember going to the tomb on my primary school trips), where exhibitions explain the tomb’s structure and unearthed artifacts such as pottery and bronze items. Although the tomb chamber itself is not open to the public, you can peek inside through glass. Afterwards, take a stroll in the Han Garden to admire traditional Chinese garden architecture and enjoy the tranquil atmosphere. Finally, explore Sham Shui Po’s local delicacies and unique shops, such as Hop Yik Tai rice noodle rolls, to perfectly conclude this cultural journey. This trip not only offers an in-depth understanding of Hong Kong’s history but also lets you experience the city’s unique charm.
