Huang Feihong Lion Dance Martial Arts Museum

The Huang Feihong Lion Dance Martial Arts Museum, also called the Huang Feihong Memorial Hall, is a memorial to the folk hero and martial artist Wong Fei Hung (Huang Feihong) and to the Foshan lion dance tradition. It is located inside the Foshan Ancestral Temple complex at No. 21 Zumiao Road, Chancheng District, in Guangdong Province, China. Huang Feihong is a celebrated figure of Cantonese martial arts culture, known in China and abroad through decades of film and television, and Foshan is regarded as the home of the Southern lion dance. The hall's exhibits introduce his life, his martial arts lineage and the costumes, drums and lion heads used in the Foshan lion dance. What sets the hall apart is the adjoining square, where live lion dance and martial arts performances take place. Shows run at roughly 10:00 to 10:40, 14:15 to 14:55 and 15:30 to 16:10, and they are not held in rain. Performers combine acrobatics, drumming and stylised lion movements, and audiences often gather along the edges of the square. The museum is included in the Zumiao ticket of CNY 20 (about USD 3.00), and it opens from 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM daily. A visit typically takes about an hour, though timing it around a performance can extend this. The best photographs come from the front rows of the square during the show, when the lion heads and costumes are in motion, and from the entrance to the hall against the temple architecture. Crowds peak at weekends, holidays and during the mid-morning show, so visitors who prefer more space can choose the later afternoon performance on a weekday. The hall is a short walk from Zumiao Station on the Guangfo Metro Line (Guangzhou-Foshan Line) via Exit D, and the Yip Man Memorial Hall and the Confucius Temple are a few minutes away inside the same grounds.
