Situated near Wei River in the northern suburb of Xi’an city, Han Yangling Museum is an on-the-site one built on the base of Han Yangling Mausoleum, the historical site designated for state protection. Now, the Shaanxi government is planning to build the museum into a scenic spot, which combines historical culture with garden scenery and focuses on the cultural of the Han Dynasty. The museum was opened to the public in 1999 and was awarded as the top national museum in China in 2008.
