Situated on Xianggang Mountain to the west of Yuexiushan Park in Guangzhou, the Nanyue King's tomb is the earliest large-scale tomb with color paintings in its stone chambers in Lingnan Area. Composed of seven chambers, the tomb was hidden twenty meters below the top of the Xianggang Mountain before it was discovered in June of 1983.

The occupant of the tomb was Zhao Mo-the second Nanyue King and the grandson of Zhao Tuo, the founding father of the Nanyue Kingdom. The body of Zhao Mei was wearing a jade burial suit knitted with silk threads. A total of 15 people were buried alive with him and there were over 1,000 precious burial objects, most of which were jade and bronze articles.

The discovery of the Nanyue King's tomb provided invaluable information for the study of the history and the fusion of the Han and Yue ethnic cultures in the Lingnan Area of the Qin and Han Dynasties. After the discovery, the tomb was protected on the spot and a 14,000-square meters museum featuring the Western Han Nanyue King's tomb was built beside the site.
