The Chen Family Temple, also known as Guangdong
Folk Art Museum, was built in the 1890s and has nine halls and six courtyards.
Its windows, door frames, and pavilions are lavishly decorated with intricate
carvings and sculptures. It is now the largest and best preserved and
decorated ancient architecture existing in Guangdong province. The decoration
combines wood carving, brick carving, stone carving, clay sculpture, ash
sculpture, brass and iron foundry, grotto, new year painting, and other
art forms. The special historical, artistic, and scientific aspects of
the temple have made it an important attraction in Guangzhou.
