Huguang Guild Hall

The Huguang Guild Hall is a magnificent building situated right on the riverbank. The bright yellow structure rises as the mountainside rises, its high walls enclosing the hall's unique cultural atmosphere. Upon entering, you'll find a museum dedicated to the great Sichuan immigrants. The museum is divided into three sections: the Yuwang Palace, the Qi'an Public Office, and the Guangdong Guild Hall. The Yuwang Palace is magnificent and the largest, situated on three steps, offering a different perspective with each ascent. The Qi'an Public Office is the lowest, but its interior is exquisite, featuring many wedding photos, showcasing the essence of the guild hall's culture. Further up the mountain, the Guangdong Guild Hall is the highest point, but unfortunately, it was under construction when I visited and was closed to visitors. From the elevated platform where the Guangdong Guild Hall stands, you can overlook the entire hall. Tickets to the Huguang Guild Hall are 30 yuan, and student tickets are 15 yuan. It's truly worth a visit! The architecture alone is beautiful, not to mention the fascinating guild hall culture.

The Huguang Guild Hall in Chongqing, located at the East Water Gate on the Yangtze River, was built during the Qing Dynasty and is a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Site. If you have more time, you can visit it along with the East Water Gate Ancient City Wall. Alternatively, you can view it from the viewing platform at the Socialist College on the other side of the river or from the Yangtze River Cableway.

Built in the early Qing Dynasty, it's closely related to the "Huguang Filling Sichuan" movement. After the Qing dynasty replaced the Ming dynasty and seized control of the Central Plains, years of war and chaos resulted in a nine-tenths loss of Sichuan's population. This prompted the Qing government to initiate large-scale population migration, with the majority coming from Hubei and Hunan (then collectively known as Huguang). This led to the "Huguang Filling Sichuan" movement and the construction of this large Huguang Guild Hall.



There isn't much to see in the hall, and the guide's explanations are clichéd. What's more important is understanding this historical event. You can also understand why Sichuan dialect has so many similarities with Hunan and Hubei dialects.

Huguang Guild Hall, a complex of ancient buildings.

Here is the Huguang Sichuan Migration Museum - a museum dedicated to immigration.

The transportation is a bit inconvenient.

Very beautiful building

I feel Chongqing is especially suitable for summer

Despite the super hot

The original appearance of the activities of the Huguang Guild Hall has been basically restored. As a cultural understanding, this place is still good. If it is a tourist attraction, you still need to understand the background first.

It was closed when I went there, so I didn't go inside. There was a residential area outside. From a high vantage point, it looked very large and had a great location overlooking the river.

There are many fun things to do, including folk customs and good scenery.

I passed by Chaotianmen Wharf and went to take a look, but due to time constraints, I did not go in.

It took a long time to walk to the Huguang Guild Hall, so I don’t recommend going there just to check in.

When I went to Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall, it was under renovation, so I couldn't see it completely.

It's still very interesting to look at from the outside, with distinct features.

Located at No. 4 Dongshuimenzheng Street, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, the Huguang Guild Hall was first built in 1759, the 24th year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty, and expanded in 1846. The hall covers an area of 8,561 square meters and includes the Huguang Guild Hall (also known as the Sanchu Public Office), the Guangdong Guild Hall (also known as the Nanhua Palace), the Qi'an Public Office (also known as the Huangzhou Guild Hall), and partial remains of the Jiangxi Guild Hall and the Jiangnan Guild Hall.

The ticket for a one-day tour is 35 yuan, and few people would go if they were traveling on their own.

This is a very good ancient clubhouse with exquisite architecture, well preserved and large in scale. It is very enjoyable to walk around.

Tickets: 30 yuan

Huguang Guild Hall is a must-visit place for group tours in Chongqing, and there are many foreigners.

There is still a lot to see inside. If you visit carefully, it will take about 1-2 hours.

The only thing to be thankful for is that I was not cheated of money (I was fishing for Dayu)

It's just a group of old-style buildings, and they are not very attractive.

The Huguang Guild Hall is actually very close to the Qiansimen Bridge and the Yangtze River Cableway, so from the quaint tavern outside the building, you can see the cableway boxes passing overhead. The overall architecture of the Huguang Guild Hall is magnificent. Its bright yellow exterior, slender beams and tiles, carved and painted rafters, large red and octagonal lanterns, and thick plaques with traditional Chinese characters all represent the hall's hallmark. It's said that the hall was in dilapidated condition before renovations, and the government subsequently allocated funds for a special, costly renovation, which explains the 30 yuan per person entrance fee. The courtyard is planted with clusters of crape myrtles, a swirling cloud of blossoms, and cycads, symbols of strength. This harmonious blend of strength and softness reflects the building's overall majestic style.

The guild hall, as it sounds, is a place where a bunch of old men drink tea and play cards. Once inside, we were sure they were just drinking tea. The guild hall is actually quite large, but we ultimately didn't explore it all because it was too hot and the stairs were too difficult to climb. This place is actually a historical site of some kind, with a lot of historical information, but for two science students, we couldn't understand it. We just watched the fun.

It's worth a visit simply for its reputation as "the largest known ancient guild hall complex in a city center in China." This was once a gathering place for merchants from Hubei and Hunan in Chongqing. The opera house, with its exquisite wood carvings, is a must-see. The complex primarily comprises the Yuwang Palace, the Guangdong Club, and the Qi'an Club, and is quite large.

Admission is 30 yuan. This collective name for the Guangdong Office, Qi'an Public Office, and Yuwang Palace, a cluster of early Qing Dynasty ancient buildings, along with new, imitation-style buildings, is the largest known ancient guild hall complex in a central city in China. Originally constructed during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the complex underwent continuous expansion, new construction, and renovations from the reigns of Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Daoguang, and Emperor Guangxu. The current complex dates back nearly 300 years and bears witness to Chongqing's prosperity as a commercial hub during the Qing Dynasty. The relief carvings on the buildings are exquisite and lifelike, featuring characters from stories such as Journey to the West, Romance of the Western Chamber, Investiture of the Gods, and the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, as well as motifs of dragons, phoenixes, animals, and various exotic flowers and plants. The entire complex, with its exquisitely carved balustrades and painted buildings, represents a representative example of southern Chinese architectural art from the Ming and Qing dynasties and is the largest extant ancient guild hall complex in my country. According to feng shui, the inner side of the river bend in the Dongshuimen area is considered "auspicious" and the outer side "inauspicious." The area around Dongshuimen, known for its excellent feng shui, is the site of the guild hall, a place where the Vermillion Bird soars and dances. Each courtyard in the Huguang Guild Hall is self-contained and interconnected, embodying the architectural characteristics of Jiangnan gardens. Each courtyard is lushly planted, each house boasts carved beams and painted rafters, and each theater building is exquisitely constructed. Furthermore, the entire guild hall is built along the mountainside, with staggered levels and winding steps, creating a unique scene at every step. Every turn reveals the unique beauty of classical Chinese charm. Unfortunately, I am at a loss for words to fully capture the beauty of this precious cultural relic, radiating the brilliance of traditional culture.

Upon entering the Huguang Guild Hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the Yuwang Palace. Built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, the Yuwang Palace, covering 2,270 square meters, is the largest building in the Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall complex. Two stages remain, and the dragon heads protruding from the halls are known in architecture as bracket sets.

The Huguang Guild Hall isn't located along the river, but on a section of the city wall. The original site was built during the Qing Dynasty, and the current one is likely a reconstruction of the original. However, since we arrived at night, the hall was already closed.

The activity LG is distracting. Can you please focus more and make it more suitable for the environment?

You can sit at a large table, drink a cup of tea and watch the show. It's quite immersive, but it's a pity that you can't understand it.

The road to the Huguang Guild Hall is quite complicated. You have to go through a small commodity market. Navigation is completely useless. It is better to ask the police more. The Huguang Guild Hall is still worth a visit. The full ticket is 30 yuan per person, half price with a student ID, and free for people over 70 years old. The only problem is the transportation. For public transportation, there is only a sightseeing bus, which costs 10 yuan per person one way. It is a bit shady.

It is said that the government spent more than 100 million yuan to rebuild and restore the guild hall, which was on the verge of dilapidated. Therefore, charging 30 yuan for the ticket now does not seem expensive, but not many people go to visit.

The Huguang Guild Hall is different from the Jiangnan garden architecture. The architecture of the Huguang Guild Hall makes full use of the three-dimensional space (it is indeed a 3D city, from ancient times to the present), and it is worth a visit.

The ticket price is 30 yuan, no admission after 5 pm, and the event officially ends at 6 pm.

In the evening, there were very few tourists, especially individual tourists. Even the staff of the small shop inside did not know how to make the tour more smooth, and asked us if we were not traveling with a tour group.

Several important places: Yuwang Palace, Qi'an Public Office, Guangdong Public Office, and two museums at the exit.

Tall fire-proof walls divide the guild hall into several small courtyards, each connected by a small door, ensuring a continuous flow of space. In this way, each courtyard has its own unique function and style, a fusion of the characteristics of Jiangnan gardens and Hui-style architectural structure.

I have to say, after being so used to seeing red walls and green tiles, the yellow walls really had a strong visual impact. Just the walls alone are a reason to come here.

The first thing you see when you enter is the Yuwang Temple. Behind the Yuwang Temple is where merchants used to hold meetings.

I don't know why there is a feeling of "How deep is the palace wall?" This place is quite suitable for filming, and those who like to take pictures of Hanfu costumes can come here.

The Huguang Guild Hall in Chongqing is said to be the largest existing ancient guild hall complex in my country. Indeed, when I went there, I had not expected it to be so large when I made a travel guide. Once I walked in, I found that it was really more than just a glimpse of the whole. The guild hall as a whole is a building from the early Qing Dynasty, with a history of about three hundred years. The carved railings and painted pillars in the ancient building complex are still very exquisite. The yellow walls make the whole guild hall look very grand, but for some reason it has a temple-like feeling. There is also a large stage inside, and it seems that the industrialists and businessmen of the time, or the immigrant gentry often held various gatherings and activities here. However, I heard that many weddings and press conferences are held here now... It is also a way to use the past for the present.



The Guild Hall has two main functions. One is the Yuwang Palace, though it seems to be dedicated to Duke Qi'an. There's also a small Immigration Museum nearby. It shows how immigrants traveled thousands of miles from places like Guangdong to forge a new path to life in the mountain city. Seeing it truly impressed me with the greatness of the ancients. Many poor people didn't even have carriages, relying on their own two feet to walk the long distance to Chongqing, carrying all their belongings with them. It was such a monumental journey! If I'd actually walked from Fujian to Guangdong, I'd probably have given up halfway through...



Because we were there during the off-season, the venue was very quiet, with almost no tourists. Besides us, there was a small courtyard with a kitten, which I really wanted to pet, but unfortunately it wasn't very friendly to outsiders.

If you want to pet a cat...you can also buy some antique handicrafts here.

It's also the largest surviving ancient guild hall complex in my country and is remarkably well-preserved!

I don't recommend going there. The last time I went there, the staff asked everyone to take a red Buddha statue without paying. When we came out, there was someone to collect money, 100 yuan per person. I felt cheated!

The Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall, located at No. 4 Dongshuimen Main Street, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, was built in 1759, the 24th year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty, and expanded in 1846, the 26th year of the Daoguang Emperor's reign. The hall covers an area of 8,561 square meters and houses the Guangdong Guild Hall, the Jiangnan Guild Hall, the Lianghu Guild Hall, the Jiangxi Guild Hall, and four theaters, including the Guangdong and Qi'an Guild Halls. The hall's architectural reliefs are exquisite and lifelike, featuring characters from stories such as Journey to the West, Romance of the Western Chamber, Investiture of the Gods, and the Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars, as well as motifs of dragons, phoenixes, animals, and various exotic flowers and plants. The entire complex, with its exquisitely carved and painted buildings, represents the architectural art of southern my country during the Ming and Qing dynasties and is the largest extant ancient guild hall complex in my country. According to feng shui, the inner side of the river bend in the Dongshuimen area is considered auspicious, while the outer side is considered inauspicious. The Dongshuimen area, a place where the Vermillion Bird soars and dances, is considered auspicious, hence the selection of the guild hall for its location.

It should be listed as one of the must-visit places in Chongqing. It is very charming with its ancient charm.

The Huguang Guild Hall, a Qing Dynasty building, has been visited by French President François Hollande. It boasts an antique charm and beautiful greenery. The architectural carvings are quite exquisite, and if it's not crowded, it's a great place to take photos – it feels very retro.

It is definitely worth a visit. Reasons for recommendation: 1. The architectural style of the Qing Dynasty is extremely exquisite with carved beams and painted buildings; 2. The tour guide's explanation is fascinating; 3. It promotes the traditional Chinese culture of filial piety; 4. It houses the Sichuan Immigration Museum, which tells the historical story of the Huguang immigrants moving to Sichuan.

It's just okay, I just passed by and saw it, but I don't recommend it. It's in Yuzhong District

It could be an ancient mutual aid association for fellow villagers, that's the explanation. The details of some of the reliefs are amazing, but my limited technology makes it impossible to capture them in photos.

A very distinctive and imposing building complex, it is a good place to learn about the history of immigration from Huguang to Sichuan.

I went there and found out the scenic area was closed due to maintenance. I was extremely disappointed, but I unexpectedly found that the view of the Dongshuimen Bridge from the entrance of the Huguang Guild Hall was very beautiful. It was afternoon, and the blue sky and white clouds contrasted well with the red bridge, making the photos I took very clean and beautiful. In addition, the security uncle put the roadblock on the stone lion's head... What was he trying to do? It was inexplicably cute.

The Huguang Guild Hall, also known as the Yuwang Temple, was first built in 1759, the 24th year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty, and expanded in 1846, the 26th year of the Daoguang Emperor's reign. It served as a gathering place for merchants from Hubei and Hunan in Chongqing. Its architectural style exemplifies the early Qing Dynasty and is another iconic landmark of Chongqing. The guild hall consists of three parts: the main gate (temple gate), the main hall and corridors, and the theater and courtyard. A pair of stone lions, depicting civil and military lions, stand facing each other on either side of the gate, a rare treasure of Sichuan stone carving.

Jiangxi is filled with Huguang, and Huguang is filled with Sichuan. Here you can learn about the history of Huguang filling Sichuan.

It was too late when I got there and the museum was closed, so I could only leave a message at the door saying "This is my fate". A tribute to the fourth wave of extreme

The filming location of Extreme Challenge!! Of course, it still has profound historical significance and value.

The day I went there, it seemed like some event was about to take place, so some places were not open.

Located at No. 4 Dongshuimen Zhengjie Street, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, this ancient building complex, built in 1759 (the 24th year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign in the Qing Dynasty), features exquisitely carved balustrades and painted rafters. It represents a representative example of southern Chinese architectural art from the Ming and Qing dynasties and is the largest surviving ancient guild hall complex in my country. Facing south, its main gate overlooks the Yangtze River, where thousands of sails race across. Built into the hillside, the complex is densely packed with buildings, creating a rigorous structure and a magnificent aura.

The Guild Hall is large and tells the story of Chongqing in those days. It is worth a visit. There are many mosquitoes in June, so you should bring some cooling oil and wear long pants to prevent mosquito bites.

The rise and fall, honor and disgrace of a generation of business groups in the dock culture have been transformed into these black tiles and yellow walls, standing on the banks of the two rivers for a century without changing.

For an ancient style fan, this kind of antique building is my favorite. Highly recommended, it is worth a visit

Highly recommended. There were almost no tourists on the day I went there, and it was very quiet. I felt that I could spend a whole day in front of the stage. The architecture is very distinctive.

The building is very beautiful, and you can sit down and watch folk performances and opera stages. The yellow building often reminds me of Vietnam.

Tour groups and individual tourists enter separately. Individual tourists can go directly to the ticket office to buy tickets and enter without queuing.

Entering the Huguang Guild Hall, the first thing that catches your eye is the Yuwang Palace, which shows the political background, economic factors and routes of immigration to Sichuan from different angles, fully reflecting the history of "Huguang filling Sichuan"

The building is built to exceptional standards. The exhibits are steeped in history, documenting the history of Chongqing's founding by the people of Huguang. The stage, teahouse, furnishings, and lanterns all capture the myriad events and glorious moments of that era.

We arrived early and the doors were not open yet, so it was technically difficult to take a picture. Most people can't take a complete picture. (The doors open at 9 am)

Huguang Guild Hall is not far from Chaotianmen. I originally planned to go to Chaotianmen, but when I got there, I saw nothing but a gloomy sky. I just took a stroll and accidentally came to Huguang Guild Hall. The hall is quite large. There happened to be a performance inside and you can drink gaiwan tea. Better than Chaotianmen

The Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall, located on the Yangtze River bank of Dongshuimen in Yuzhong District, Chongqing, is a collective name for a cluster of ancient buildings from the early Qing Dynasty, including the Guangdong Office, Qi'an Public Office, and Yuwang Palace, as well as new buildings modeled after antiques. It is the largest known ancient guild hall complex in a city center in China. The complex was first built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and continued to undergo expansion, new construction, and renovations from the reigns of Emperors Qianlong, Daoguang, and Guangxu. The current complex was rebuilt during the reigns of Emperors Daoguang and Guangxu, boasting a history of nearly 300 years and serving as a testament to Chongqing's prosperity as a commercial hub during the Qing Dynasty.

During the major renovation, many places are cordoned off and cannot be entered. You can only look at the outside and the ancient city walls.

When I went there, the museum was closed for renovations, but the surrounding scenery was okay and suitable for taking photos.

--The Huguang Guild Hall is a Qing Dynasty building, and French President Hollande has also visited here.

--The guild hall is antique and has good greenery. The night view is beautiful.

It was under maintenance when we went there, so we didn't get to go inside to have a look, which was a pity.

Important things should be said three times. Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall will start maintenance on October 8 and will not reopen until January next year. I walked a long way today and only had a meal at the door.

The Qi'an Guildhall, a quintessentially Hui-style woodcarving complex, is the best-preserved building in the Huguang Guildhall complex in Chongqing. Its opera house is particularly beautiful. Numerous sculptures depict the daily life of the guildhall, depicting righteous deeds, fraternal love, and grand gatherings. This painting depicts the congratulations of a student upon passing the imperial examination. The Guangdong Guildhall opera house is arguably the best-preserved and most impressive of the four. When we visited, a newlywed couple was preparing for their wedding banquet there. Climbing the slopes and sloping steps is a hallmark of the mountain city of Chongqing. Just look at that long staircase. How could Chongqing women not be slender and voluptuous? (The stilt house)

It was under renovation, so I didn't have the chance to go in and see it. The purpose of writing this is to tell friends who still want to go in 2016 that Huguang is still under renovation until January 2017.

After all the trouble to get here, it was closed. Friends who want to come should pay attention to the time, don't go in vain. Ask for directions when you come, because Chongqing is a three-dimensional city, Baidu will also have deviations

The ticket price is also good. It looks big from the outside, but the places to visit inside are not very big, but it is also very beautiful.

It is the largest building in the Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall complex. Yuwang Palace still retains two opera stages, and the dragon heads protruding from the halls are known in architecture as brackets. The sunshine was so bright that I couldn't resist snapping a few photos. Guangdong Public Office: Also known as Nanhua Palace, Guangdong Public Office was built during the Kangxi reign and features a quadrangular courtyard layout. Surrounded by high walls, the courtyard is centered around a theater, the largest stage in the entire guild hall complex. The theater features a wooden hip-and-gable roof with a light green and yellow glazed tile. The railings surrounding the stage are vividly carved with stories from traditional Chinese operas such as Journey to the West and Romance of the Western Chamber. The Guangdong Guild Hall is undergoing major renovations, making it inaccessible, so I took a look outside. The Guangdong Guild Hall is the highest point in the Huguang Guild Hall complex, offering the best views. (Image of Qi'an Public Office): Qi'an Public Office is the best-preserved building in the Chongqing Huguang Guild Hall complex, with a floor area of approximately 1,600 square meters (excluding the courtyard), second only to Yuwang Palace.

The courtyard is large, with numerous stages, giving you a glimpse into the splendor of its time. There's also a small immigration museum inside, which tells the story of the "Huguang-Sichuan migration" in the early Qing Dynasty and is well worth a visit. Next door is the Guangdong Public Office. It's very quiet, with not many tourists.

Our first stop was the Huguang Guild Hall in Chongqing. It was my favorite attraction on this trip. With a 30-yuan ticket price and relatively few visitors, it often felt like the entire place was completely private, with no crowds or noise at all. The most striking impression I had upon visiting was: carved beams and painted buildings. The roof, eaves, walls, and everything else were meticulously designed, imbued with charm. The architectural styles of the guild halls vary from place to place, each uniquely sculpted according to the mountain's slopes. My favorite was the Qi'an Public Office, with its yellow walls and layered, cloud-like facades, which contrasted beautifully with the modern bridge.

We continued along Binjiang Road, but couldn't find a zebra crossing, so we crossed the street and arrived at the Huguang Guild Hall. This hall tells the story of the Huguang people's immigration to Chongqing. There's a text and photo exhibition, a hall for worship, and some statues. There's plenty to see, and it's a great place to cool off.

The venue is not very big. What impressed me most was the embroidery on the second floor. I didn't take any photos because they didn't allow me to. The double-sided embroidery was really beautiful. The Huguang Guild Hall consists of several palaces. If you are interested, you can take a good look.

Located in Chongqing's Yuzhong District, this ancient building complex, with its exquisite carvings and painted balustrades, represents southern my country's architectural art from the Ming and Qing dynasties and is the largest surviving ancient guildhall complex in my country. According to feng shui, the inner side of a river bend is considered "auspicious" and the outer side "inauspicious." The Dongshuimen area, known for its excellent feng shui, is the site of the guildhall, a place where the Vermillion Bird soars and dances.

The environment is very beautiful, with two stages inside, and there are views everywhere. It is actually very large. If you walk all the way to the top, you can see the Jialing River Bridge. The architecture is very distinctive, and the roofs are all upturned eaves, which is very beautiful. There is a strong cultural atmosphere here. It is recommended to walk more inside when you go. You can basically visit for 3 hours.

Few people come here, especially on cloudy days, when it's dreary and gloomy. This is a place of nostalgia. Here, you might better understand the story of the Huguang people moving to Sichuan, perhaps even understanding where your ancestors came from and where they were headed. Standing here, you can gaze at the Yangtze River and the Chongqing light rail transit passing by. The interweaving of old and new creates a sense of time and space. Perhaps at some point, you'll be transported back to the Ming and Qing dynasties, to the busiest hour of the Huguang Guild Hall—a play being performed on the stage!

I could actually see it while riding the Yangtze River Cableway, but I didn't realize the yellow patch was it. Exit 8 from Xiaoshizi is closer, but when I got off the subway next to the cableway, I realized I couldn't walk to Exit 8; Line 6 was the only way out. So, tragically, I followed the app around and around, finally arriving 20 minutes before ticket sales closed.



The Huguang Guild Hall, a Qing Dynasty building, boasts an antique charm and charm, housing the Yuwang Palace, the Guangdong Public Office, and the Qi'an Public Office. Once bustling with activity and bustling with people, the hall has now become a desolate and deserted place, its empty buildings fading into a desolate atmosphere. Times have changed, and we've lost our appetite for the bustling bustle of large gatherings. Weekends are often spent in small groups of three or four in a trendy coffee shop, enjoying a strong cup of coffee and some sweet treats.

It has an ancient charm, is nestled against the mountains and overlooks the river. It is recommended to go there late in the afternoon or early in the morning when there are fewer people and the experience will be more enjoyable.

If you are interested in Bashu culture, you can go in and have a look. It is not expensive.
