Thirteen Hongs Museum focuses on Qing-era Guangzhou and maritime trade. Commerce, porcelain, export art and urban life explain the city's role in contact between China and the West. A later walk through Shangxiajiu or Shamian connects those stories with the streets.

Objects, documents, images and reconstructed spaces give historical stories a concrete setting. Together they reveal particular strands of Guangzhou's trading, social, artistic, technological or urban development.

Thirteen Hongs Museum offers a window onto local culture in Old Liwan. Pairing it with nearby historic streets, memorials or museums helps connect individual exhibits with the city's wider history.
