The Huang Clan Ancestral Hall in Cheung Chau

The Cheung Chau Huang Clan Ancestral Hall

The Cheung Chau Huang Clan Ancestral Hall is a cultural relic protection unit of Zhongshan City.

The Zhongshan Huang Clan Ancestral Hall is located in Cheung Chau Village, Xiqu District, Zhongshan City. It was first built during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty and has been renovated in various dynasties.

The ancestral hall faces south and features a three-bay, three-courtyard layout, with left and right wing rooms in the central and rear sections. It is quite large in scale, covering an area of 1,600 square meters. The structure uses a post-and-lintel wooden frame, with circular pedestal blocks on the front eaves and ruyi-style brackets above, featuring carved dragon corbels. It has a flush-gable roof, with oyster shell used for the exterior walls, carved dragon boat ridges in grey plaster, and exquisitely crafted wooden carvings in the partition screen sections. Both the plaster sculptures and brick carvings are well preserved.

In 1990, the Zhongshan Municipal People's Government designated it as a cultural relic protection unit. On November 8, 2008, the General Office of the Guangdong Provincial People's Government issued the "Notice on the Announcement of the Fifth Batch of Guangdong Provincial Cultural Relic Protection Units," listing the Cheung Chau Huang Clan Ancestral Hall as a Guangdong Provincial Cultural Relic Protection Unit.
