Exploring Chen Clan Ancestral Hall

#favouriteitinerary On a previous visit to the Guangdong Folk Art Museum, I was captivated by the stunning rooftops of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, an architectural gem transformed into a museum. Highlights: Intricate Rooftop Art: The hall's ridges, gables, and corridors are adorned with colorful pottery and plaster sculptures, depicting traditional folklore and daily life. Cultural Significance: Built during the Qing Dynasty, it's one of the largest traditional buildings in Guangzhou, reflecting the region's rich cultural heritage. Detailed Sculptures: The hall features lively carvings of mythical creatures like the fish-tailed dragon and charming lion figures resembling festival lion dances. The vivid figurines tell stories of ancient life and have retained their colors through the years. Visiting the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall was a profound experience, showcasing the beauty of Lingnan architecture and the artistry of past generations. 🌸🏯📸
