Shawan Sanren Hall

Shawan Sanren Hall

The Sanren Hall is a cultural relic protection unit of Guangzhou City.

The Sanren Hall, a memorial museum of the birthplace of Cantonese music, is located at No. 7 Anning West Street, Beicun, Shawan. Built during the Jiaqing reign of the Qing Dynasty, for over a century from the late Qing to the Republican era, the Sanren Hall became a gathering place for elites in the Cantonese music and traditional performing arts circles, serving as the concert hall of Shawan—the birthplace of Cantonese music. Renowned Cantonese musicians from Shawan such as He Bozhong, He Liutang, He Yunian, and He Shaoxia frequently invited local residents and music enthusiasts from across the province and beyond to the Sanren Hall to perform, discuss, and compose Cantonese music. Many famous pieces of Cantonese music, such as "Rain Hitting Banana Leaves" and "Dragon Boat Race," were created during this period.

Today, the Sanren Hall naturally serves as a memorial museum of the birthplace of Cantonese music. Through its exhibits and performances, visitors can experience the authentic charm of traditional Cantonese music.
