The Guya Museum is located on Machang Road, Heping District, Tianjin. This museum is the most distinctive. The meaning of Guya: elegant and classic charm, firm will, overcoming all difficulties to achieve great success. It mainly displays modern-era 0s (these old guns have all been filled with lead and are no longer functional) and Western furniture. Here you can see over 1,300 types of cultural relics, including old guns, American printers, telephones, coffee sets, various Western-style liquor cabinets, filing cabinets, electric fans, flashlights, sugar bowls, Western vases, and Western-style sofas.
The most unique aspect of this museum is that it is both a hotpot restaurant and a museum.
A pistol refers to a small 0 designed for single-handed shooting, capable of injuring enemies at close range. The so-called modern pistol, as defined by foreign weapons historians, refers to pistols invented and used after the English bourgeois revolution in the 17th century. In this article, the term "modern pistol" specifically refers to pistols manufactured and used in China after the First Opium War.
Due to the many flaws and fragility of modern pistols, as well as their primary ownership by officers, very few have been passed down through history. Mr. Zhang Lianzhi, president of the Guangdong-Only-Fresh Group in Tianjin, spared no expense in collecting 195 modern pistols from various sources and displaying them free of charge to the public at his "Guya Museum." People from all walks of life have highly praised this effort. Feng Jicai, Vice Chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and a renowned writer, referred to the Guangdong-Only-Fresh Group as an "edible museum."
