The Han Garden, located next to the museum, was completed in December 1993. The features in this Chinese garden were built following the style of the Han Dynasty and include pavilions, terraces, towers, fishponds and rock sculptures.
Once overlooking the seashore, the site of the tomb is now almost 2,000 m from the sea, following a series of land reclamations.

Famous quotes containing the word surrounding:
“The opening of large tracts by the ice-cutters commonly causes a pond to break up earlier; for the water, agitated by the wind, even in cold weather, wears away the surrounding ice.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Formerly, when lying awake at midnight in those woods, I had listened to hear some words or syllables of their language, but it chanced that I listened in vain until I heard the cry of the loon. I have heard it occasionally on the ponds of my native town, but there its wildness is not enhanced by the surrounding scenery.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The etiquette of romantic love is as elaborate as that surrounding the Emperor of China.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
