Huguang Guild Hall, Historical theater in Xuanwu District, Beijing, China
The Huguang Guild Hall features a grand complex with a main opera building, Wenchang building, Xiangxian Temple, and decorative red and gold interior elements.
Built in 1807, the venue gained additional significance in 1912 when Sun Yat-sen established the Chinese Nationalist Party during a convention with hundreds of participants.
The theater maintains its status as one of Beijing's Four Great Theaters, where numerous distinguished opera performers have presented traditional Chinese performances.
Visitors can explore both the opera performances and a dedicated museum section that presents the evolution of Beijing opera through various exhibits.
The guild hall, initially constructed for residents from Hunan and Hubei provinces, underwent extensive restoration and reopened as Beijing's 100th museum in 1997.
