#familytravel
As a super fan for Kung Fu and Martial Arts, here I was with mum in the ancestral residence of Bruce Lee that located in YongQing Lane of Guangzhou.
Strolling around the 2-story house, you will get to learn a lot about Bruce Lee past stories as well as his families/ancestors.
Visiting here, remember to take a picture at the entrance of the home with the statues of Bruce playing martial arts.
Highly recommended !!

If you are interested in kungfu, this is place to visit. The site collected some photos and history of Bruce Lee’s life, his hobbies and movies he started in. Also to see Guangzhou’s old buildings from inside was a nice experience too

Bruce Lee's Ancestral Home, A Hero's Origin
Bruce Lee's ancestral home is a popular check-in spot in Yongqing Fang, located at No. 13, Yongqing Alley, Enning Road.
The ancestral home was built during the Republic of China period. It is a three-entry brick-wood structure with a main and side hall, featuring the Xiguan mansion architectural style, hard gable roof, green brick base, and interior with carved beams and colored glass screens.
A hero's origin. Bruce Lee's rise to become a kung fu superstar owes much to his grandfather and father. Bruce Lee's grandfather, Li Zhenbiao, was a renowned martial artist in Shunde, Guangdong. His father, Li Haiquan, was one of the four great comedians of Cantonese opera, dedicating his life to the art while traveling domestically and internationally.
As a child, Bruce Lee was mischievous, often fighting, skipping classes, and causing trouble. His father, Li Haiquan, did not resort to corporal punishment but instead taught him Tai Chi, using its softness to counteract his fiery nature. Influenced by Cantonese opera and the film industry, Bruce Lee showed exceptional acting talent from a young age, becoming a child star on screen.
At 13, Bruce Lee became a disciple of martial arts master Ip Man. As he grew older, he went to the United States for studies, opened martial arts schools, entered the film industry, and bravely ventured into Hollywood.
Located in Wenqing Fang, Bruce Lee's ancestral home was a Xiguan mansion purchased by Li Haiquan in 1947. He lived there for over a decade before moving to Hong Kong, after which the house was rented out and gradually fell into disrepair. It was renovated and upgraded in 2018 and opened to the public for free in April 2019.
Bruce Lee's ancestral home features several themed spaces, such as 'The Lee Family,' 'Young Achiever,' and 'Kung Fu Superstar,' showcasing the family history and Bruce Lee's journey to becoming a kung fu superstar. It also incorporates modern technology, such as 3D holographic projections, providing a 360-degree interactive experience that allows visitors to 'communicate across space.'

Guangzhou Travel Diary, Bruce Lee's Ancestral Home
Guangzhou tourism, staying at the Yongqingfang Hotel, I can finally take a good stroll around Yongqingfang.
Inside Yongqingfang, there is a Bruce Lee's ancestral home, which is open to visitors for free. Tourists can enter directly to visit.
This ancestral home was built by Bruce Lee's father, Lee Hoi-chuen, and Bruce Lee spent part of his youth here before moving to Hong Kong with his father.
The entire building has been renovated and then opened to the public. It is a two-story structure with a typical Xiguan mansion's brick-and-wood construction. During the visit, we encountered a free guide who shared with us the design concepts, meanings, and stories behind the carved beams, colored glass screens, and the layout of the house.
Bruce Lee's ancestral home also introduces the life and achievements of Bruce Lee. The exhibition displays many classic photos of Bruce Lee's works, showcasing the legendary life of a superstar. In the year of the Dragon, the spirit of Bruce Lee continues to burn brightly. This year is also the year of the Dragon, so if you are visiting Yongqingfang recently, why not take a walk to Bruce Lee's ancestral home and experience the charm of a generation's martial arts superstar.

Bruce Lee's ancestral home is not far from the Lee Clan Ancestral Hall, about half a mile away, located in the middle of "Little Dragon Lane" named after Bruce Lee. Bruce Lee's ancestral home covers an area of 51.8 square meters, divided into a room, a hall, a kitchen, and a patio, which is a traditional brick-wood structure residential building in the Pearl River Delta region. The house was built by Bruce Lee's grandfather Li Zhenbiao, and he and Li Haiquan and other two generations have lived here. The quality of the house and the furnishings of the furniture are relatively simple and simple. On the wall of the guest dining room hangs a brief introduction of Bruce Lee's life with more than a thousand words and seven or eight large stills of Bruce Lee's starring movies. There is also a wooden man stake and an incense case on display in the hall. The patio is relatively large, about 20 square meters, where you can practice and perform some simple routines.
