Húnán Bówùyuàn

Lady Dai and the Mawangdui tombs: silks, lacquer, a painted banner and the marquise herself. Free, book ahead.

Reservation needed

Free; real-name booking on the official account, released a week ahead and gone fast at weekends. Closed Mondays.

Allow three hours. The nested coffins and the T-shaped silk painting are on the upper floors; the body is in the basement, and the descent is designed to feel like a tomb.
