Introduction

Chen's Academy, originally named as such, was built in the 14th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the largest, most intact and exquisitely decorated ancestral temple buildings of the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong Province. The complex comprises 19 buildings of varying sizes, with the main building consisting of five three-bay, nine-courtyard structures arranged around a central axis of gate, Juxian Hall and rear hall.
