Guangdong Customs Museum

The former site of Guangdong Customs, located in the 13th Bank Business District, Liwan District, Guangzhou, opposite the Xidi Wharf, is a century-old European-style building. The 13th Bank is the only commercial port in the Qing Dynasty closed and closed country period. This is the place where business Jia gathers, and it is the earliest window facing the world. It is a place where Chinese and Western cultures collide and merge, and has witnessed the changes of the scenery on the edge of the Pearl River for a hundred years.

The Guangdong Customs Museum tells of the prominent status of Guangdong Customs from four mouths of commerce (Guangdong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang) to one mouth of commerce (Guangdong), "Jinshan Zhuhai, Tianzi Nanku", and the historical imprint of the loss of tariff rights since the Qing Dynasty and after the Opium War. The collection is not much, the most valuable is the building itself, this large bell tower was built in 1916, one of the earliest buildings with reinforced concrete frames, and one of the earliest office buildings with vertical elevators. After liberation, it was changed to Guangzhou Customs, and it continued to work until 2006, and it was opened to the public as a museum in 2016. We just met the explanation at 2:30 pm. The customs lady in Figure 6 took the whole process, and several small volunteers were inserted during the period to explain. Figure 5 can be enlarged to see the 19th century Guangzhou people and foreigners talk in Cantonese-style English, is it familiar?

I came out on the weekend and came to the Longti area. I saw the Guangdong Customs Museum. It is located along Jiangxi Road. It is the old site of Guangdong Customs. It used to be called the Big Bell Tower. Because there is a big clock on the roof of the building, the building faces the Pearl River and witnessed "a mouth of commerce". "Guangdong Customs and 13 lines, Guangdong Port modern" Yangguan "and other historical issues. It has now become a place for tourists to check in.

The Guangdong Customs Museum is located at No. 29, Yanjiang West Road, Liwan District, Guangzhou. The museum is located on the banks of the Pearl River. The night view at the door is very beautiful, many people are taking pictures and taking videos.

It is very close to the Guangdong Customs Museum on foot from the 13th Line Museum, and it is estimated that it is only a few hundred meters away. The building is very historical, the indoor layout is domineering, and each house has a fireplace. I don't know why. Guangzhou is not cold in winter. The office of the boss of the customs is very spacious, with 6 doors leading to different locations, it is estimated that the day is in the gold. There are many museums in Guangzhou. This time I have a lot of opportunities to see a lot and have a lot of harvest.
