A massive mural greets visitors, depicting the busy Thirteen Hongs dock, with ships coming and going and merchants chatting and laughing, instantly immersing one in the prosperity of the past. The museum's exhibition halls vividly present Guangzhou's history as a hub of the Maritime Silk Road through exquisite artifacts and detailed historical records. Beautiful porcelain, exotic silverware, and various ancient maps and business contracts bear witness to the exchanges between China and the world. A corner of the exhibition hall features a simulated street scene of the Thirteen Hongs, meticulously recreating the commercial atmosphere of the time, making one feel as if they can hear the haggling. The most touching part is a video documentary played at the end of the exhibition, narrating the changes and heritage of this land.

During the Spring Festival, people usually go to parks to enjoy the flowers. I accidentally discovered that the Guangzhou Thirteen Hongs Museum was built in the Cultural Park. The history of the Thirteen Hongs is very familiar to the old Guangzhou people, but the younger generation may not be very clear about it. The glorious history of the Thirteen Commercial Banks began in the 23rd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign when the maritime ban was lifted and the Guangdong Customs was established. The museum narrates this period of modern history and houses more than 2,000 pieces of exquisitely handcrafted porcelain, silverware, ivory folding fans, and rosewood furniture, which bear witness to the prosperity of the Thirteen Commercial Banks' foreign trade at the time and the exquisite handcrafted products produced by the skilled craftsmen of the time. 🕰️Business hours: 9am to 5:30pm (open from Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Monday) 🏖️Environment/Facilities: Take Metro Line 6 or 8, Cultural Park Station, Exit A or B. 📍Address: Cultural Park, No. 37, Xidi 2nd Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou💰Average consumption: Free#Guangzhou Attractions

#Register for January Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 Guangzhou has been a major commercial port for foreign trade with China since ancient times. Since the Tang Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of Arab merchants have lived in Guangzhou. The maritime ban was lifted during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Guangzhou’s foreign trade was handled by the Thirteen Hongs, which represented foreign merchants’ trade with China. Today I visited the Shisanhang Museum in Liwan District, Guangzhou. The museum exhibits a large number of commodities from China's foreign trade during the Qing Dynasty. It turns out that many of the luxury goods used by European aristocrats from the 18th to the 20th century, such as furniture, folders, accessories, etc., were all MADE IN CHlNA! It's really eye-opening! It is a pleasure to appreciate the exquisite and gorgeous craftsmanship of the exhibits! About five minutes’ walk from the Shisanhang Museum to the Pearl River is the former site of the Qing Dynasty Guangdong Customs. Let’s save the Guangdong Customs Museum for next time! Guangzhou was an important gateway for the inflow of foreign currencies such as the Sitting Dollar, Standing Dollar, Zhahua Dollar, Japanese Dragon Dollar, Ben Dollar and Eagle Dollar into China during the Qing Dynasty. It also opened the history of China's machine-made silver dollar production in the late Qing Dynasty. For those of you who love playing with silver dollars, next time you have the chance to travel to Guangzhou, you should take the time to visit it!

Because I couldn’t book a ticket for the Provincial Museum, I turned around and went to the Guangzhou Shisanhang Museum, but I didn’t expect it to be so beautiful! It looks a bit old from the outside, but it is really worth a visit. It is divided into two floors. There are many exquisite decorations on the second floor, which is extremely rich. 1. In the Cultural Park, friends who take a taxi or drive there can directly locate the Cultural Park, and make an appointment and go on the same day. I made an appointment when I arrived at the gate. There are a lot of tickets, so I don’t have to worry about running out of tickets. However, if it is a holiday, such as National Day, it would be safer to make an appointment in advance! Avoid tickets being sold out. 2. Museum opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00-17:50, ticket redemption stops at 17:00. The museum is closed on Mondays, except statutory holidays. If you need a paper ticket, you can go to the service desk to get it from the staff. 3. It takes one and a half hours to visit the whole place. It is really beautiful and worth going!
