Tomb of Han Yu

韩愈墓(韩园)

The tomb complex of Han Yu, a literary figure of the Tang dynasty, located in Hanzhuang in Mengzhou and listed as a national key cultural heritage site.

Han Yu’s tomb lies north of Xi Hanzhuang Village in Mengzhou City. The tomb complex, commonly known as “Han Garden,” sits on Huangtu Ridge among ancient cypresses. It includes a gate, a sacrificial hall, a stele corridor and the burial mound. The stele corridor houses inscriptions from successive dynasties and presents Han Yu’s life and literary achievements, as the foremost of the Eight Great Prose Masters of the Tang and Song dynasties. Few visitors come here, and it is quiet, making it suitable for those interested in history and culture. It is about 80 km from Jiaozuo city and can be combined with Chenjiagou and Jiayingguan into a one-day southern Jiaozuo tour.
