The Chen house
"Chen" is an old family name in Guangzhou, so the influential Chen family built their own school for their children (and I can't remember now what else they used this house for...). Later on it was turned into a museum. It has interesting exhibits of things pertinent to this area of China.
They have their own style of embroidery here. Where Hunan's embroidery is double sided, the Guangdong embroidery is almost 3-D. I really liked the blue little windows and the puppets, and Mike likes the Bonsai trees you see everywhere!
