Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is really worth coming. Tickets are free. After you enter, you can find a tour guide on the right hand side of the ancestral hall. It is also free. 4 people can form a group. There are Mandarin and Cantonese options. It is really humane. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall has well preserved the Cantonese culture, including embroidery, customs, craftsmanship, etc. It is worth seeing. If you come to Guangzhou to play, you can arrange the Zhongshan Memorial Hall, Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, and Yuexiu Park, all in a circle, and one day is over. Except for the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall, the three attractions are free of charge. There are not many people and there is no hard consumption. Highly recommended

Fixated on it, originally because of the building, after entering, sighed at those folk collections. Tickets are very popular, the refrigerator stickers in the memorial shop are very creative, and I love the promenade ～ like crossing the time Chenjia Ancestral Hall, also known as "Chen's College," now it is actually a museum. Built in 19 years of Guangxu, is the "Hezu" built by the Chen clan clans in Guangdong in the late Qing Dynasty. It covers an area of 15000 square meters, and consists of 19 single-body buildings. The buildings are separated by Qingyun Lane, connected by promenade and intersected by courtyard, which is the largest, most decorative and well-preserved traditional Lingnan dormitory architecture, also known as the "Lingnan architectural art pearl", Jilingnan folk architecture and decoration art dacheng. In 1959, it was opened as a Guangdong Folk Art Museum. It also collected, studied and exhibited the folk artworks of various dynasties in Guangdong and all over the country. It was named the National First Class Museum in 2017. The collection in the museum is really amazing ～ The various sculpture art of the building is really beautiful and beautiful, must see!
