The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, also known as the "Chen Clan Academy", is where the Guangdong Folk Art Museum is located. Construction for the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall began in 1888. It was a temple built by the Chen family in Guangdong. It is representative of the Lingnan architectural tradition, incorporating all five classical types of sculptures. It is truly a magnificent work of craftsmanship. In the museum, there are also lots of traditional art styles, including Yue embroidery, Guangfu furniture, and so on. It is a wonderful place to learn more about traditional culture.

The Chen Family Academy in Guangzhou is a group of 19 buildings, covering an area of 13,200 square meters. It was built in 1894 by 72 families with the surname Chen, so that their children could study for the national exams. It is an example of typical Cantonese architecture, which today houses the Guangzhou Museum of Folk Arts.
nice place to visit with family
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! It is really not suitable to miss ~
