We had a wonderful time in Tibet. We have learned a lot about this unique destination because of the wonderful guide Degyi who is so knowledge and always available towards our tours. We stayed at the Shangri-La Hotel Lhasa, and we would never imagine a Tibet travel could be so nice and amazing without the help of Degyi.

Also, thanks a lot to our Tibetan driver Mr.Wongdun for his safe driving and a good sense of service along the way.

We shall return Tibet in the near future!

It is considered as one of the four main cultural attractions in Guangdong Province in China with the three others being - the Ancestors' Temple in Foshan City, the former Residence of Sun Yat-sen in Zhongshan City and the Opium War Memorial Hall in Dongguan City.

Chen Family Ancestral TempleThe temple was built with money from the wealthy Chen family clan, which spreads across 72 counties in Guangdong province. The project was completed in 1874 and illustrates the Chinese tradition of successful family members investing in a legacy to worship their ancestors. The Chen's have been well known in the region since the late Qing Dynasty when one of their members achieved third place in the highest nationwide imperial examination and thus received a high ranking position in the imperial court serving the emperor.

What makes Ancestral Temple of Chen Family distinctive is the extensive application ofChen Family Ancestral Temple the various techniques just like wood carvings, stone carvings, brick carvings, clay sculpture, ash sculpture, brass and iron foundry, grotto and other forms of art. The sculptural technique expresses simplicity and ruggedness, precision and exquisiteness, each setting off the other.
