•佛山必游的经典景点，是佛山的一张明信片。
•祖庙的建筑物极富特色，集石雕、木雕、砖雕和陶塑、灰塑艺术于一体，值得一看。
•这里有佛山武术和舞狮表演，都非常精彩。
•黄飞鸿纪念馆和叶问馆都位于这，武术迷不容错过！

佛山祖庙位于佛山市中心，周边是繁华的商业区，交通非常方便。从广州过去可以搭乘广佛地铁，在祖庙站下车即可。它从北宋元丰年间始建，之后逐渐成为一座体系完整且具有浓厚地方特色的庙宇建筑。现在的祖庙算是来佛山必游的经典景点，是佛山的一张明信片。佛山祖庙包括了祖庙古建筑群、孔庙、黄飞鸿纪念馆、叶问馆等景点。大门进去后，沿着中轴线，由南自北分别是万福台、锦香池、三门、前殿、正殿、庆真楼等建筑物，这些建筑物都极富有特色。万福台是华南地区最著名的古戏台，这座戏台的高度极其不科学，有6米高，据说是给对面的”北帝“观看，并不是给普通人群看的。这里会上演”终极大考“的表演。锦香池位于三门前，它的秘密在于工匠利用视觉差让原本梯形的池子看起来像长方形。而之后的三门，是灵应祠的正门，由此进入祖庙主体。祖庙的正殿里陈设了许多珍贵的艺术品，如兵器铜墙铁壁仪仗，直径1.31米的巨型铜镜、大型铜鼎、铜钟和香炉。其建筑装饰大量采用了陶塑、木雕、砖雕、灰塑等。正反两面均有以戏曲故事为主要题材。这些建筑都极具历史参考价值，庙内供奉众多神灵。在佛山祖庙里面可以.

we stay about 4-5 hrs at zumiao... cause we dont wan miss the 武术和舞狮表演

The Chen Ancestral Hall was located outside the west gate of Guangzhou City and built between the 14th to 19th years of the Guangxu Reign of the Qing Dynasty (1888-1893). It was funded by Chen lineages in Guangdong province during the Qing Dynasty. It was used as a temporary residence when Chen lineage people came to Guangzhou for attending provincial imperial examination, designation, paying taxes, and engaging in lawsuits and other matters.

The Chen's Ancestral Hall has a total area of 15,000 square meters, floor space of 6,400 square meters. It is a symmetrical complex comprising 19 single buildings which are connected with verandas and interspaced by courtyards.

The Chen's Ancestral Hall is the largest, best-preserved and most gorgeously decorated traditional building in Guangdong Province. It is also known as " The Pearl of Lingnan Architectural Art" . The entire building is decorated with arts including skillful wood carving, brick carving, stone carving, lime sculpture, pottery sculpture, iron and copper casting, and color painting.

Since 1959, the Chen Ancestral Hall has been established as Guangdong Folk Art Museum to display of folk arts of China, mostly from Guangdong province.
