Looking for a place to enjoy art and culture — and most importantly, without the crowds? Follow SilkRoadPost to discover offbeat art galleries in Guangzhou!


Kui Yuan (逵园) is one of the five renowned mansions of Dongshan and a major historical and cultural site protected at the national level. The inscription "1922" on its rooftop was once a key landmark that helped confirm the site of the Third National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC).


Today, Kui Yuan has been transformed into a multi-functional art and cultural space, hosting pop-up exhibitions, cultural events, and art installations.


After visiting, you can explore nearby Republican-era Western-style gems such as Bai Yuan (柏园) and Ming Yuan (明园), and soak up the nostalgic vibe among the red bricks and yellow walls.


📍 Address: No. 9 Xuguyuan Road, Yuexiu district, Guangzhou 广州市越秀区恤孤院路9号

📍 Opening hours: 11 a.m.-6 p.m.

📍 How to get there: Take Guangzhou Metro Line 1 or Line 6 to Dongshankou Station (东山口站), then walk about 800 meters.
