The Huguang Guild Hall in Chongqing is so impressive that it will leave you in awe.

Have you ever heard of "Huguang fills Sichuan"? If you want to learn about this part of history, the Huguang Guild Hall is the best place to go. Located at the head of the Dongshuimen Bridge in Chongqing, you can see this eye-catching yellow building from afar. It is the largest ancient guild hall complex in China, with a history of more than 300 years. It includes the Yuwang Palace, the Two Lakes Guild Hall, the Guangdong Guild Hall, the Qian Guild Hall, and the ancient theater. There are also opera performances in the theater every day, which are worth watching. You can drink a bowl of tea while watching the opera, which is very characteristic. The buildings of the Huguang Guild Hall are built along the mountain, with the roof forms of Xuan Mountain, Juan Peng, and Xie Mountain, depicting the characteristics of buildings in various places in the south of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it is also a historical witness to the prosperity of Chongqing in the Qing Dynasty. Yuwang Palace is the largest building in the Huguang Guild Hall, occupying 1/3 of the entire hall. It was built in the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and consists of several parts such as the Yuwang Temple, the large and small theaters, the corridor, the conference hall, and the reception hall. The entire Yuwang Palace is carved with beams and painted buildings, painted with vermilion and gold. Especially the pillars and doors and windows are carved with various figures and flowers, birds and insects, which are lifelike and amazing. Another key check-in point is the Guangdong Guild Hall. This is a Siheyuan-style building. Compared with the heaviness of the Yuwang Palace, it pays more attention to the ingenuity and gorgeousness, especially the relief of the theater building. The carving story content, character image, flowers, birds, insects and fish are all particularly rich. The arches under the eaves of the Juanpeng are also hollowed out and carved with "Fengshen Bang" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". The story is magnificent and the picture is exquisite, which is also a treasure. The Guangdong Exchange is also the main place for opera performances in the Huguang Guild Hall. The theater can accommodate 300 people to watch the opera at the same time. The place facing the stage is the tea drinking area, which requires a separate ticket. The Huguang Guild Hall also has many beautiful photo spots waiting for you to explore slowly.
