The Guangzhou Museum is located in Yuexiu Park
within the 14th century Tower Controlling the Sea (zhenhai
lou). Each of the 5 stories of the 28 meter (92ft) tower
has exhibitions relating to the history of Guangzhou from prehistoric
times to the present. The 3rd and 4th floors have some interesting
exhibits relating to Guangzhou’s role as a trading center both before
and after the Opium Wars (1839-1862). The top floor of the tower
has a café and a selection of shops selling traditional gifts
and souvenirs.
