Huang Rongyuan Mansion

Fujian


A marvellous pillared building that was once the home of wealthy Filipino merchants, but now houses the China Records Museum, with a small collection of vinyl records and gramophones in glass cabinets with Chinese-only signs. Entry to the building requires buying a pricey ticket.
