It was poorly maintained during the Chinese revolution, but has undergone a series of renovations since 1950. Today, with its up-to-date lighting, air conditioning and acoustics, the Hall is a popular place for local assemblies.

Chen Clan Academy

Known locally as the Chen Clan Temple, this complex of buildings is one of the most culturally-unique structures in Southern China. Built in the 1890s, the complex is comprised of 19 buildings interspersed by courtyards, verandas, grand halls and tasteful gardens. The Chen Clan Academy is known for its great variety of decorations, such as intricate woodcarvings, brick and stone carvings, ceramic sculptures, iron castings and paintings. These artistic decorations cover a wide range of subjects, from Chinese legends and historical stories, to ornately-carved birds, animals, and flowers.

In the heart of Guangzhou, Six Banyan Trees Temple was named by famed poet Su Dongpo who visited the site in 1,100 AD. Today, it is a very active working temple. The site features the Hua Ta Pagoda, an octagonal building reaching up seventeen stores. The ceiling and the wooden eaves house hundreds of finely carved miniature Buddhas in distinct poses looking down to greet the visitors coming up the steep staircase.

Xiguan Guest House (Xiguan Residence)

The guest houses known collectively as Xiguan Residence were built at the end of the Qing Dynasty by the rich and powerful families for residing in the western part of Guangdong (Xiguan Corner). The buildings are characteristic for their depiction of Lingnan's local characters, hence the name "Xiguan Residence".

Most of the houses of Xiguan Residence are built with bricks and timbers, and its lofty frontpiece is embedded with marbles. The layout follows the traditional Chinese design of placing the main hall at the forefront and expands from the there backwards.

Xiguan Residence is regarded as a treasure of Guangzhou traditional architecture. According to statistics, there are more than 100 of such residences in existence, over 10 of which are in urgent need of conservation for their historical and architectural value. The most well-known Xiguan Residences are: Liangzizhengdi, Denggongbaodi and Garden of Family Zhong. But most of these famous houses haven't been conserved, and the rare survival is "Xiaohuafangzhai", which means small boat house, built like a round garden in 1902 at Liwan.
