On November 9, 2008, the hometown of Bruce Lee in southern China, has finished building the world's largest memorial museum for the action legend, China News Service reported Tuesday.

The museum, located in Shunde, Guangdong Province, was inaugurated on Sunday by Bruce's sister, Phoebe Lee, who flewed from San Francisco for the occasion.

More than 1,000 items related to or used by Bruce Lee are on display, including costumes and photographs. Some letters and poems written by the martial artist are being exhibited for the first time, the report says.

The facility will also include a sculpture park that will feature the world's tallest Bruce Lee statue when the 18.8-meter-tall artwork is finished early next year.

Future meet-ups for Bruce Lee's fans are being planned, which the museum's director, Huang Dechao hopes to create a communication forum for worldwide fans.

Thanks to a new 50-episode drama series "The Legend of Bruce Lee," produced by China Central Television (CCTV), there has been a huge interest in China over Bruce Lee, who passed away three decades ago.

The drama became the most-watched CCTV drama in history following its initial airing in October.
