🏛️ What It Is
Chen Clan Ancestral Hall is the largest and best-preserved Qing Dynasty ancestral hall in Guangdong and is hailed as the “Pearl of Lingnan Architectural Art.” The exquisite brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings, stucco reliefs, and iron castings adorning the roofs, beams, columns, doors, and windows are truly masterful. It now serves as the Guangdong Folk Arts Museum.
✨ Why Visit
Even if you’re not very familiar with Chinese architecture, the carving craftsmanship at the Chen Family Temple will leave you speechless with awe. Every detail is exquisitely crafted.
