Hai Rui Cultural Park

Hai Rui Tomb was built to commemorate the famous Qing official Hai Rui in history. It is mainly composed of stone arches, Hai Rui tomb, Hai Rui statue, Hai Rui exhibition hall and related buildings. It is also called Hai Rui Memorial Hall or Hai Rui Park. The whole park is beautiful and upright, suitable for quiet admiration and condolences. Walking into the gate of the scenic spot, the first thing you see is the stone archway. Passing through the archway is a tomb path paved with granite strips. It is more than 100 meters long and is the same as the general tomb path. Horses, stone lions, stone turtles and stone men. At the end of the tomb passage is the Mausoleum of Hai Rui. The tombstone in front of the tomb is genuine, with a history of more than 400 years and is a national precious cultural relic. The part behind the tomb of Hai Rui was expanded later, with buildings such as the statue of Hai Rui, Yang Lian Xuan, Qingfeng Pavilion, and rockery. Hai Rui was a feudal official, but he was honest throughout his life. During his tenure in office, he boldly eliminated malpractices, punished traitors, pleaded for the people's orders, and rehabilitated wrongful prisoners. He won the hearts of the people, but he also offended many powerful people. After Hai Rui's death, he had almost no property, but he left behind the good names of "Nan Bao Gong" and "Hai Qingtian". Today, Hai Rui's tomb is just an empty tomb. During the ten years of turmoil, Hai Rui's tomb was destroyed and his bones were burned. It was not until 1983 that it was rebuilt with funds raised by the government for future generations to worship and pay tribute to.
