Guangzhou Attractions｜Directly accessible by subway, the Chen Clan Academy's architectural art is amazing

#Guangzhou Attractions

There is a station called "Chen Clan Academy" on Guangzhou Metro Line 1. It is a famous landmark building in Guangzhou. It was formerly known as "Chen's Academy" and has a long history of over a hundred years. Today, it has been transformed into a museum and is home to the Guangdong Folk Arts Museum.

As soon as you enter the door, you will be attracted by the exquisite architectural art here. Take a closer look at the eaves, columns, doors and windows, every detail is full of ingenuity. Various folk crafts such as stone carving, brick carving, wood carving, plaster sculpture, and pottery sculpture are all ingeniously crafted with vivid and lifelike shapes. These works of art are not only of exquisite craftsmanship, but also well maintained, with colors still bright and rich, as if they can take people back to that prosperous era. Whether you are interested in folk crafts or have a strong interest in ancient architectural art, this place is definitely worth a visit.

If you are hungry, there is a "Yang Tao Plaza" opposite the Chen Clan Academy with many restaurants to choose from.
