Guangzhou Folk Museum

Today we toured the Guangzhou Folk Museum. Brent was kind enough to watch the kids while I enjoyed the 'audio tour'. Seeing the architecture, the hanging red lanterns, the sculpted trees, and ornately carved doors & furnitures was like walking back into time. Every corner you turn opens a new world. I think you could stay in China for years and never fully grasp the magnitude of its history.




In the Folk Museum you can see local ceramics, embroidery and carving.

These are replicas of rooms from older times.
The museum housed numerous ornate fans.
Replica of pen set.


What an incredible bedroom set!
