The Chen Family Temple was built by the Chen families from 72 counties all over Guangdong Province at the end of the 19th century. It was built to honor and worship their ancestors. It was also used to house Chen family members who came from all over the province to sit for the imperial examinations. It is also known ad the Chen Family Academy for that reason. The temple is a compound complex consisting of nine halls, six courtyards, and nineteen buildings connected by corridors, all separated by walls from the outside world. The architecture was absolutely amazing and my pictures don't do it justice. |
