Guangdong | The local museum with Liwan’s history and culture

Liwan Museum is the first district-level museum in Guangdong Province, dedicated to the collection, exhibition, and research of Liwan's history, culture, and folklore. It comprehensively showcases the history and culture of Liwan, an old district in Guangzhou.

The second phase of the Liwan Museum features a reconstructed Xiguan Mansion as its main building. This structure retains a symmetrical layout centered around a main hall, incorporating courtyards, skylights, and open-air corridors to facilitate natural ventilation, keeping the entire space pleasantly cool. Inside the museum, many historical artifacts from old houses are on display, such as a porcelain pillow from the late Qing Dynasty.

During summer, sleeping on this type of pillow provided a refreshing and cooling effect. The surface of the pillow is adorned with intricate floral and bird patterns, with delicate and fluid lines.
