About Leitai Han Culture Museum
Its interpretation focuses on the wealth, movement and ceremonial life of the Han-period Hexi Corridor. The tomb setting and the raised Leitai precinct help place those objects in context. The famous horse itself belongs to Gansu Provincial Museum in Lanzhou, so a visit here is about the discovery site and its interpretation rather than a promised view of the original.
What to look for
- The Leitai tomb setting and the account of its discovery.
- Interpretation of the bronze horse-and-chariot procession and Han-period ceremonial travel.
