Chen Clan Ancestral Hall-Folk Craft Museum
It was originally a space to prepare students for the Confucian imperial exams, built by two overseas Chinese in America who returned to Guangzhou. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall (also known as the Chen Clan Academy, for those whose last name is Chen), which now houses the Guangdong Folk Art Museum, is a great stop on your tour of Guangzhou with its history and architecture. The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall was founded by two Chinese Americans who wanted the Chen family students to have an academy in Guangzhou as they prepared for their Confucian imperial exams. It was built shortly before the end of the Qing era between 1890 and 1894, when two founders named Chen, Chen Ruinan and Chen Zhaonan enlisted support from all over Guangdong.

Get the Guided Tour
This is an interesting place that has some very detailed Chinese art. Please note that you have to register through an application to go in and there are a limited amount of visitors allowed. We would highly recommend the guided tour which is included in the price as most signs are in Mandarin and the guides are very knowledgeable in the history.
