Where is the only garden-style Cantonese Opera Museum in China?

Jiangnan gardens are picturesque. Have you seen Lingnan Garden?

In Guangdong, the most famous gardens are Qinghui Garden in Shunde, Liangyuan Garden in Foshan, Keyuan Garden in Dongguan and Yuyin Mountain Residence in Panyu. Other gardens are less famous. Guangzhou Cantonese Opera Art Museum, located in Enning Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou, is one of the exquisite and poetic Lingnan classical gardens.

You heard me right. This classical garden adjacent to Yongqingfang and Lai Chi Wan Yong is actually a museum, displaying cultural relics, historical materials, costumes and other related objects related to Cantonese opera. There is also a stage and theater dedicated to opera performances in the garden.

Next to Guangzhou Cantonese Opera Art Museum is Yongqingfang Creative Zone, which has just emerged in recent years. Next to it is Litchi Bay Chung, which is regarded as the lifeblood of modern Xiguan civilization.

The Cantonese Opera Museum, also known as the West Garden, is rich in Lingnan water town characteristics. In this garden, Lingnan stage, painting boat and main buildings of Ming and Qing dynasties are distributed around the central lake. The lake is green and dotted with water lilies. Every major festival or specific performance season, the South Opera will be staged on the hydrophilic stage. Listening to songs in the garden is similar to tasting Kunqu opera in Suzhou classical gardens, which is quite poetic.

The total construction area of Guangzhou West Park is about 2 1.7 million square meters. It was only opened to the public in 20 16 years, and it took four years in June. This classical garden not only reflects the clear water and bright moon of the freehand brushwork scenery of ancient buildings, but also has arch bridges and archways across the dry land. This is a paradise for Cantonese opera lovers and a favorite tourist destination for garden art lovers.

In similarity, the architectural features of Guangzhou West Garden and Panyu Yuyin Mountain Residence are the closest.

This Lingnan classical garden is now open for free, but many locals don't know it. People often don't enter the door, and there are few related introductions on the Internet.

There are two theaters in Xiyuan, the large one can accommodate 250 spectators, and the small one can accommodate 50 spectators. The exhibition area is a place for tourists to learn about the southern red bean-Cantonese opera. This Lingnan art with unique local characteristics is now in decline. From the exhibition area? Storm? Arrive? Famous on five continents? , using the red boat model to present? Southern red beans? The most representative era.

In the exhibition hall of the Cantonese Opera Art Museum, visitors can see all kinds of Cantonese opera costumes, headdresses and other items.

Litchi Bay flows slowly from the periphery of the garden, and the green water reflects the quaint garden, showing the environment of ink painting.

It's good to visit Lingnan Garden, enjoy the classics of Cantonese Opera and learn about the history of Cantonese Opera. If you are not interested in these things, it is also good to take pictures in the garden, where it is easy to take pictures of classical temperament.
