The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, now the Guangdong Folk Art Museum, is one of Guangzhou’s most beautiful historic buildings, a magnificent 19th-century complex of halls and courtyards. A ticketed visit reveals dazzling displays of traditional Cantonese craftsmanship, from intricate wood, stone and brick carvings to ceramic roof figures and fine embroidery and ivory work. A masterpiece of southern Chinese architecture and decorative art, it offers a wonderful window into the region’s rich cultural heritage and is one of the most rewarding sights in the city.
