Stepping into the Cantonese Opera Art Museum feels like entering a magnificent dream. The elegant Lingnan architectural style, with its pavilions and towers, is beautifully arranged. Red lanterns hang high, and the melodies of opera linger in the air. The museum's collection of costumes, musical instruments, and opera manuscripts all reveal the long-standing heritage and brilliance of Cantonese opera, a national treasure. The most captivating part for me was the costume exhibition hall. Each costume, adorned with gold threads and colorful beads, seems to encapsulate memories of time, telling stories of the joys and sorrows once performed on stage through exquisite embroidery. In the adjacent video area, classic performances by famous Cantonese opera artists are played, with melodious and touching singing that strikes the heart, making one appreciate the profound heritage of this art form. Sitting on a small chair in front of the stage, I imagined the lively scenes here decades ago, with the audience's cheers and the clamor of gongs and drums intertwining, blending art with life. As I left the museum, it seemed that the echoes of those 'highlight plays' still lingered in my ears.

#Guangzhou Attractions In the morning, I came to the Cantonese Opera Art Museum, which is a treasure of Guangzhou’s traditional culture. The museum displays a wealth of Cantonese opera relics and historical materials. From ancient costumes to exquisite facial makeup, each exhibit tells the history and charm of Cantonese opera. I followed the guide, wandering through different exhibition areas, listening to the wonderful stories about Cantonese opera, as if I had traveled through time and space and returned to the era when opera was flourishing. Afterwards, I went to Liwan Creek, which represents the water town style of Guangzhou. The banks of the bay are lined with green trees, and the quaint buildings and the quiet river complement each other, exuding the strong Guangdong water village atmosphere everywhere. I took a pleasure boat, wandering over the bay, admiring the scenery on both sides. Sometimes, there were Tanka girls singing softly on the boat, making people feel as if they were in a moving ink painting, and the soul was relaxed in the ancient charm of history and the lingering Cantonese style.
