An exhibition on the traditional Lingnan architectural decorations recently kicked off at the Ancestral Temple of the Liu Family in Guangzhou's Tianhe district.

The temple was built by Liu Yongfu (1837-1917), a famous general in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). It is now one of the most complete relics of Liu in Guangzhou and is a cultural relic protection unit in Guangdong province.
