Countryside all the way to Guangzhou.
The Ancestral Temple of the Chen family was completed in 1893. The funds for the Ancestral Hall came from the various clans in the Guangdong province, with the Chen surname. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall covers a total area of 15,000 sq m. It has 19 individual units which are connected by long corridors, halls, rooms, pavilions and courtyards. The buildings have beautiful decorative schemes on them which a variety of materials and techniques such as wood carving, brick carving, stone carving, stucco, pottery figures, iron and copper ornaments, surface painting and murals were used to create the mist decorative effects. This building is one of the Important Heritage Sites. Very impressive.
The mission of the Museum was to collect, preserve, research and display folk arts and traditional crafts from the Guangdong province.
