Tomb of Han Hui

The Tomb of Han Hui is a protected cultural heritage site of Nanjing.

The Tomb of Han Hui is located at the intersection of the old Nanjing-Hangzhou Highway and the Lingyuan Avenue, outside Zhongshan Gate in Xuanwu District, Nanjing. It sits on the hillside near Weigang and is a protected cultural heritage site of Nanjing.

On November 1, 1928, the sixth anniversary of Han Hui’s martyrdom, his remains were relocated here from Xiaoying. During the 1988 restoration, it was impossible to fully restore the original appearance of the cemetery and the approach path, so the reconstruction had to be adapted to the existing site conditions. It has been listed in the "Catalogue of Important Modern Architectural Heritage in Nanjing."
