Discover the hidden Xiguan Museum in the dessert shop

It is not only a Cantonese dessert shop but also a 'family-style museum' with many old Xiguan items. There are two entrances on the first floor The left is the classic crossbar door, and the right is the distinctive Manchu-style window. Passing through, there is also a super retro spiral wooden staircase that feels very photogenic The second floor has even more various 'antiques' All kinds of porcelain, sculptures, ingots, copper coins, etc.~ The nostalgic ceiling fans give a sense of time travel The third floor is also interesting The owner uses the camphor wood chests that were used for dowries and clothing as tables. Those who like old Xiguan items can really come here to explore 📝Trivia Foot door: Known as the first door of the Xiguan mansions, it can effectively block the line of sight and protect the privacy of the people inside. Crossbar door: Known as the second door of the Xiguan mansions, it was an anti-theft door in the old times. The dozens of round logs in the middle are called 'crossbars', which allow ventilation and ensure safety. Manchu-style window: Originating from the influence of the stationed Banner troops, they come in different colors such as red, yellow, blue, and green, which are now the most obvious color characteristics. Flower floor tiles: Also known as step tiles, they are very suitable for the hot and humid climate of Lingnan. Camphor wood chest: Also known as a daughter's box, equivalent to today's wardrobe, made of camphor wood, effectively moisture-proof and insect-proof.
