Museum
Cantonese Opera Art Museum
Cantonese opera museum at 127 Enning Road, with its own halls and collection.
Architecture
Jinlun Guild Hall
The Qing guild hall of Guangzhou's silk weavers. The whole building was later slid to a new site so a road tunnel could pass.
Museum
Liwan Museum (Chen Lianzhong Residence)
Silk merchant and HSBC comprador Chen Lianzhong built this hybrid mansion with European arches, columns and a Chinese garden beside the old waterways. Now incorporated into Liwan Museum, it stands beside a reconstructed Xiguan mansion whose interiors explain how wealthy merchant families actually lived behind their imposing doors.
Museum
Shixiang Garden Memorial Museum
This flower-scented courtyard was the home, studio, and school of Ju Chao and Ju Lian, whose experimental “splash-water” and “splash-powder” techniques helped prepare the ground for the Lingnan School. Ju Lian reportedly sold paintings to support talented but impoverished pupils, and future modernists Gao Jianfu and Chen Shuren studied here, earning the garden its nickname, “the cradle of the Lingnan School.”
Church
Renwei Taoist Temple
A living Taoist temple in Xiguan, still in use, with the dense Cantonese roof carvings the Chen Clan now only displays as a museum.
Street & district
Dongshankou and Xinhepu
Early-20th-century villa quarter in Dongshan, walked from the Xinhepu streets.
Archaeological site
Huangpu Ancient Port
During the Canton System, foreign ocean-going ships were ordered to anchor at Whampoa rather than sail directly to the Thirteen Factories. Cargo was registered, inspected and transferred into smaller boats here, making this quiet inlet the outer-port counterpart to the crowded merchant enclave upriver.
