The Chen Clan's Academy, commonly known as the Chen Clan's Temple, is a national-level protected cultural heritage site, and houses the Guangdong Museum of Folk Arts. Construction of the Chen Clan's Temple started in the 14th year of the reign of Emperor Guang Xu of the Qing Dynasty (1888) and was completed in the 20th year of the reign (1894). Located beyond the western gate of the town of Guangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, it was a shared clan temple built with donations from Chen clan members from 72 counties in Guangdong Province. The Academy features an architectural style typical of ancestral halls in Lingnan, although this one is the largest; most sumptuously decorated and best preserved traditional structure in Guangdong Province.
