陳家祠,又叫陳氏書院,係中國廣州嘅重要文物,喺中山七路。
喺清朝光緒十六年至二十年之間(1890年-1894年)起,
係嗰陣廣東省七十二縣陳氏宗親夾錢起嘅合族宗祠。

陳家祠係集咗嶺南咁多代建築藝術精華嘅典型代表,
包括咗前院、西院、東院同後院,佔地一萬五千幾平方米。

陳家祠嘅建築由深三進,廣五間,大細十九座建築物組成,
建築中心係高廿幾米嘅中進主殿「聚賢堂」。

陳家祠喺2002年列入咗羊城八景,叫做「古祠留芳」。

The Chen Clan Academy is an academic temple in Guangzhou (Canton),
China built by the 72 Chen (It is usually romanised as Chan in Cantonese)
clans for their juniors' accommodation and preparation for the imperial
examinations in 1894 in Qing Dynasty.

Later it was changed to be the Chen Clan’s Industry College,
and then middle schools afterward. Now it houses the Guangdong Folk Art Museum .

Located at Zhongshan 7th Road, the Chen Clan Academy is a symmetric complex

wood carvings and pottery, can be found in the structure.

在廣州有一個很特別的地方,名叫沙面島。

在黃沙地鐵站,行過行人天橋就到了!

這裡曾是英、法兩國的租界,

所以保留了很多19世纪末西式古建築。

有點像到了一些電影場景, 十分有趣!



In Guangzhou, there is a very special place named Shamian island.

From Huangsha metro station walk through the pedestrian bridge to arrive here!

Here was the British and French Concession,

so there still have a lots of the late 19th century Western-style ancient buildings.

A bit like the scene of some movies, very interesting!

6月份端午節假期, 去了廣州三天,

在深圳或珠海坐火車到廣洲真是十分之方便,

只需一個小時便可到達!

但廣州真的非常炎熱, 而且地下鐵道真是人山人海,

所以建議大家到了秋涼天才去比較合適.

首先給大家看看在上下九步行街拍的照片吧!



I went to Guangzhou for three days during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday of June.

In Shenzhen or Zhuhai to Guangzhou by train is really the easy and convenient,

just an hour to arrive there!

But Guangzhou is really very hot and really crowded in there metro,

I suggest to go there in the cool autumn days will be appropriate.

First I want to show the pictures of Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street!
