Exile Government and Absorption Into Han Dynasty
After the fall of Yue, the ruling family moved south to what is now northern Fujian and set up the Minyue kingdom. This successor state lasted until around 150 BC, when it miscalculated an alliance with the Han Dynasty.
Minyue cities, neatly constructed from stone, have been excavated in Wuyishan City, which already contains a UNESCO natural and cultural heritage site. Minyue tombs showing the Yue burial customs have recently been discovered.
