Japanese: ホリンゴール漢墓(和林格爾漢墓) - ホリンゴールかんぼ（英語表記）Hé lín gé ěr Hàn mù

A mural tomb of the Later Han dynasty located on the north bank of the Red River, 40km southeast of Helinger County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China, and 2.5km west of Xindianzi Township. It was discovered in 1971 and investigated in 1972. It is a brick multi-chamber tomb with an enclosed land, consisting of a front, middle and rear chambers with ear chambers, and the total length of the chambers is approximately 13m. Due to tomb robbery, only a few remains remain. However, the entire surface of the tomb walls are covered with vivid and lustrous murals, and many of the paintings' titles can be seen from ink-written inscriptions. The four walls of the anterior chamber depict the history of the tomb owner, who was promoted to the rank of filial and honest, and then to Khara Lang, Chief Clerk of Xihe, Commander of a vassal state of Xingshang County, and Minister of Fanyang, before being promoted to Emissiary and Protector of the Wuhuan Colonel, with carriages and horses in processions during his official positions.
