Chen Clan Academy - One of the Eight New Scenic Spots of Guangzhou

The Chen Family Ancestral Hall is one of the largest surviving Cantonese traditional buildings, and it is also the largest, best-preserved, and most beautifully decorated ancestral hall-style building in China. The pearl of Lingnan architectural art we talk about is here. The Chen Family Temple, also known as the Chen Family College, was built in the 14th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty. The building area of ​​Chen Family Ancestral Hall is about 8,000 square meters, with three axes, three entrances and nine halls. The superb craftsmanship of architectural decoration such as wood carving, brick carving, stone carving, pottery sculpture, gray sculpture, copper and iron casting and painted murals is truly breathtaking.
