  Wenta Pagoda

  No surviving record securely identifies who built this small waterside tower, but Pantang tradition says villagers raised it to improve the community’s scholarly fortune and examination success. Nearby stonework once connected the site with a royal flower garden of the Southern Han period, although those inscriptions later disappeared.

  Chen Lianbo Mansion

  This canal-side mansion belonged to banker and merchant leader Chen Lianbo, whose adjoining private landing allowed guests to arrive by launch. Its rooms hosted the Liwan Club, where commercial elites mixed business with politics before Chen’s armed Merchant Corps came into violent conflict with Sun Yat-sen’s government in 1924.

  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.

  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.

  Longjin West Road Qilou Block

  Numbers 55–67 form an unusually intact Republican-era row of four-story qilou shop-houses, their sheltered pavement carried beneath residences and Ionic-style columns. The block records the transformation of Longjin from a waterside settlement into a modern commercial road after its expansion around 1930, while its ground-floor businesses still preserve the arcade’s original everyday purpose.

  Cantonese opera museum at 127 Enning Road, with its own halls and collection.
