Nanchang authorities will increase investment to help protect the tomb and launch other projects to develop local tourism.

The marquis tomb is one of the few imperial tombs not to have been looted and dates back to the Western Han Dynasty (206 BC- AD 25 ).

The remains of Liu He, known as the Marquis of Haihun, were found in a coffin in an interior chamber following excavation which began in 2011. The remains were removed in January 2016 for further research.
