Chen Clan Ancestral Hall

The most crafted building in the city. An hour inside is worth more than another mall. The ticket is sold by the museum.

Look up. The roofs are the collection. The galleries inside explain the carving if you want the names. Even without them, the halls are the point.

Give it a dedicated hour. It is a poor place to “pass by” between markets.
