The Chen Clan Ancestral Hall, also known as the Chen Clan Academy, is one of the best-preserved examples of traditional Cantonese architecture in Guangzhou.

Today, it houses the Guangdong Folk Art Museum, showcasing intricate wood carvings, stone sculptures, clay figures, and ironwork. With its richly decorated roofs, colorful ceramic figures, and peaceful courtyards, the hall offers visitors a deep insight into Lingnan culture and craftsmanship.
