[2025 Guangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Liwan Museum (Updated Jun)

To enter the Liwan Museum, you must do a pre-booking. You may do so with your WeChat account on the spot and registration was relatively easy. There is no fee for touring the museum. The Liwan Museum consists of a cluster of three beautiful buildings, each in its own architectural style. The Former Residence of Jiangguangnai Jiang Guangnai was a key Republican (Kuomintang) general during the Second Sino-Japanese War. He was a faithful follower of Dr. Sun Yatsen’s cause. In 1931, the September 18 incident resulted in Japan occupying the northeastern parts of China. In 1932, Japan also raised an offensive in Shanghai, and Jiang Guangnai led his troops to resist the Japanese. The Former Residence of Jiang Guangnai is a brick and wood building that combines both the styles of the Xiguan Old House and western architecture. There are three stories on the building, and each floor is open for visitation. It was built during the late Qing, early Republican period. The site is now well-restored and it is a very pleasant walk in the structure. Xiguan Old Mansion The proper name of the Xiguang Old Mansion within the Liwan Museum is Xiguan Folk Customs Museum. Of the three buildings in the Liwan Museum, I enjoyed the touring of the Xiguan Old Mansion the most. This rebuilt structure showcases the typical Xiguan Old Mansion with antique wooden furniture. The introduction on site was short, easy and amply served the purpose of unveiling the life of Old Xiguan. The Former Residence of Chen Lianbo Chen Lianbo was a banker and the grand building really reflects his wealth. His residence was built during the early Republican Period. He was once the comprador for HSBC (Europe). This house was once the meeting venue for Liwan Club, where foreign affairs officials, and highly important people from commerce and industries gathered. Finally, there was a display of an interesting miniature-landscape phenomenon inside the museum compound. The Flying Banyan on the Rockery shows an old banyan tree sinking its roots over the original stone landscape sculpture. #guangzhou #guangdong #liwanmuseum #liwan #china #history #xiguan #travel#familytravel#museums#china

It is a local comprehensive museum established in December 1996. It is the first district-level museum in Guangzhou. Its main contents are collection, display and research of Liwan regional history, culture, customs and folkways. According to the guide text outside the museum, the museum has three major exhibition areas. The first exhibition area is the former residence of Chen Lianzhong, a cultural relic protection site in Guangzhou, which houses a collection of fine exhibitions and a temporary exhibition hall; the second exhibition area is the Xiguan Folk Customs Museum, which uses the rebuilt Xiguan mansion as the building carrier to reproduce the architectural style and home scenes of the former mansion; the third exhibition area is the former residence of Jiang Guangnai, a cultural relic protection site in Guangzhou, which displays the life of the famous anti-Japanese general Jiang Guangnai.

Friends who come to Xiguan for a visit, remember to check in here.

The two museums are adjacent to each other. If you make an appointment at the Liwan Museum, you can go to the Xiguan Folk Museum next door, which can be reached at Changshou Road Station. Liwan Museum is a Western-style building with a Western-style garden with Chinese style. The museum displays some fine crafts, the most distinctive of which is the tree at the entrance of the garden, which grows on the stone. The Xiguan Folk Museum is a Chinese mansion with Western style from the late Qing Dynasty, with a unique Guangzhou Xiguan style.

From the piano next to it, the delicate washbasin and five-basket dressing table, to the hollow carved bed frame and embroidered quilt, all of them tell of the wealth of this family at that time.

#gzonbudget Tucked beside scenic Litchi Bay in Yuexiu District, Liwan Museum (荔湾博物馆) was established in December 1996 as Guangdong’s first district-level museum dedicated to preserving the rich history, folklore, and vernacular architecture of old Guangzhou . I arrived mid-morning and spent about 1.5 hours exploring its “one museum, four districts” layout. The main building is the restored Chen Lianzhong Residence—a three‑story brick-and-wood villa combining Western columns, arched doors, and a flowing courtyard connected to Litchi Bay. Here, the permanent gallery displays local artifacts, traditional crafts, and rotating themed exhibitions . Adjacent, the Xiguan Folk Customs Museum—reconstructed from a traditional Xiguan mansion—immerses you in late Qing–Republican domestic life, from tile floors and carved windows to typical household furnishings . Next is the Jiang Guangnai Former Residence, the home of a famed anti-Japanese general, offering personal relics, military memorabilia, and a glimpse into his revolutionary life .

20250510My trip to southern China, Guangzhou Chapter No. 2-Yongqingfang, feel the ancient charm of Guangzhou. A hotel I found on Ctrip.com, located on Enning Road, on the street, very easy to find. The hotel has a very "old" feel. We stayed silent all night. After lunch in the morning, we went to the ancient street to appreciate the historical features. We first went to Liwan Park and the Museum, and then walked to Yongqingfang. Yongqingfang in Guangzhou's Xiguan has a long history, which is said to date back to the first year of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty (206 BC). During the Han Dynasty, lychees were grown in Litchi Bay. By the Ming Dynasty, Litchi Bay had become a famous tourist area in Guangzhou. In the late Qing Dynasty, foreign trade began, attracting a large number of wealthy businessmen to gather here to set up camp and build private gardens. During the Republic of China period, a large number of tourists often came to visit, and even Mr. Sun Yat-sen once came here. I walked and walked and looked, my eyes were too busy to take it all in. The food in the food street dazzled me. I wanted to eat everything I saw, and in the end I ate a little bit at each restaurant. I stood for a long time at the front and back doors of the ancestral home of the martial arts god Bruce Lee. I recalled visiting his and his son's tombs at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA. I felt very emotional. The hero came from here and ended there, but there seemed to be no distance between them in time and space. We also saw some of Guangzhou’s time-honored brands on the street: Guangzhou Restaurant, Lianhualou, etc. I said goodbye to the old street when the sun set. History and modern scenes kept overlapping in my mind. Reminiscing about the past and cherishing the present makes me cherish my happy life even more. I am especially grateful to the Guangzhou government for preserving and protecting this street and this piece of history so well for future generations.

Liwan Museum is about a 10-15 minute walk from Exit E of Changshou Road on Metro Line 1. It’s actually quite far, and it happened to be drizzling, so it was hot and humid. The ticket price is 5 yuan per person, and children and the elderly are free. We visited the Xiguan Folk Museum, which is not a big place, but fully displays the life of Xiguan at that time. Well worth a visit.

This "Liwan District Museum" wasn't originally in my plans. When I got to the entrance and found out there was an admission fee, I almost gave up... I almost missed out! There are four exhibition areas in total. Areas one and two are together, while areas three and four are in buildings outside the museum. Take my advice, skip area three. As for the rest, come and check in! See the pictures if you don't believe me!

Today, we share the second exhibition area of the Liwan Museum — Xiguan Mansions. With the reconstructed Xiguan Mansion as the main building, it opened to the public in 2000. The exhibition partially recreates the typical pattern of traditional Xiguan Mansions and the living conditions and cultural landscape of Xiguan residences through household furnishings and situational displays. Xiguan Mansions, prevalent in the Xiguan area of Guangzhou during the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, are known for their tall entrance halls, exquisite architecture, and meticulous decorations. They are acclaimed as the 'jewel of Lingnan residential architecture culture.' Xiguan Mansions are spacious and bright, combining halls with gardens, and are beautifully decorated. They are mostly brick-and-wood structures with blue brick bases and tall main doors inlaid with granite. The layout is based on the traditional central plains' main hall house form, generally extending in the depth direction, usually occupying a large area, rich in Xiguan characteristics, with architectural styles mostly Chinese. The basic structure includes a brick-and-wood framework, three sections, three gabled roofs, three bays on the front elevation, and a main door with a blue brick base and sliding lattice doors and stone door frames. Xiguan Mansions can also be seven sections deep, with living rooms, small halls, study rooms, and gardens inside, mainly built by compradors and merchants. The features of Xiguan Mansions include: a 'three-sided pass' layout; the 'three-piece head' consisting of a foot door, sliding lattice door, and main door; hard mountain roofs; threshold windows; blue brick bases; granite streets; patios; Qingyun alleys; wooden staircases; various traditional Guangzhou decorations and carvings.
