Why I Recommend the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall for a Trip to Guangzhou

The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is a masterpiece of Lingnan architecture, a typical Chinese-style Lingnan building, and the largest, best-preserved, and most exquisitely decorated ancestral hall-style building in China. If you want to experience Lingnan culture and Guangdong folk customs, I think the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is a must-see in Guangzhou. The architectural decorations here are mainly based on famous scenes from Cantonese opera, historical stories, myths and legends, and auspicious stories and patterns such as flowers, birds, and auspicious animals. The decorative art is exquisite and ingenious. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall has "three carvings and two sculptures", namely brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings, pottery sculptures, and gray sculptures, which, together with bronze and iron casting and painting, are known as the "Seven Wonders of the Chen Clan Ancestral Hall".
