About Tomb of Hairui

Its granite approach is marked by an inscribed archway and rows of carved stone animals and human figures. These repeated sculptures make the processional route a major part of the visit, before the tomb itself comes into view.

The tomb has a rounded, bell-like granite form, set among evergreen trees. A cultural exhibition hall adds biographical context to the memorial landscape. Compare the formal approach with the simpler tomb structure, using the displays to separate documented history from the legends that have accumulated around Hai Rui.

What to look for

  • Stone animals and human figures line the granite processional path.
  • The inscribed archway introduces the formal memorial approach.
  • The bell-like granite tomb contrasts with the taller monuments along the path.

The surrounding area

Northern city base for arcaded streets and an urban introduction to island food.
