Guangzhou, China

Xiguan


Located in the western part of the old city, this area was home to the rich elite, living in rowhouses shaded by leafy trees.

Liwan Museum


This museum depicts life inside one of these luxury homes. The ground floor consists of courtyards, living rooms, and the dining area, while bedrooms were upstairs.

An old street with Guangzhou's famous rowhouses has been re-created in one of the museum's exhibitions.

In this room, a collection of different types of boats that roamed Guangzhou's waters is on display, with live commentary provided verbally by a museum staff.
