Leizhou Stone Dog Hall

Cultural heritage

The Leizhou Stone Dog Hall stands in the old city of Leizhou and is the dedicated museum for collecting and displaying the region's stone dogs. It gathers carvings gathered from across the peninsula, crouching or standing, each with its own expression, the core place to take in the archaic charm and craft of this "terracotta army of the south."

Visiting: Visitors see the rich forms and patterns of stone dogs across the ages with accounts of the folk belief behind them, and in some areas may try carving for themselves, coming close to the craft and folklore of this national ICH.
