    A place to show how deep rooted Guangzhou is, not only the “factory of the world”. I love the archirecture, the atmostphere and almost everything about it. There are exhibitions from time to time. It’s free entrance, with some small fee to certain exhibition. Mine was 40 yuan (~6 usd). Worth every penny. I love the lighting they put in each of the exhibition room. Not impressed by the digital art in 3rd floor however. Sometimes family visitors were a bit disruptive, but it’s a public place anyway. The souvernir store was a bit surprise to me as they’re selling alessi kitchenware 😂.

    it's very big with 3 floors but not all spaces are used up for exhibition; however, its worth visiting a lot .There are upto 20 gallery halls for exhibition, beginning with fine arts , paintings by locals , then sculpture exhibition and one of the most impressive ones for me is JC comic exhibitions. International Manga, from Japan, HK, and etc are live here. it's a relaxed place for drinking coffee too, its own brand " artecoffee"
