Six Arts Museum is the Shanghai / Suzhou Region's most astonishing Ancient folk arts museum! Six Arts Museum is devoted to the environmentally friendly rescue, preservation and display of ancient Chinese arts. Located in the beautiful ancient water village of Lili, Six Arts Museum exhibits architectural pieces, stone and wood carvings, and other religious and official pieces from all across China!
One of the most amazing museums I have ever seen. Not that far from my Shanghai starting point in the beautiful river town of Lili. Starting with the eloquently finished exterior, the massive five floor building has been wrapped what must be millions of ancient bricks. The colors and lighting of Six Arts at night is jaw dropping. When you first walk in you immediately notice a giant wall of statues in niches from floor to ceiling and lit up with a showy display of lighting. The layers of details in the displays in the museum are truly incredible. You are walking in and through exhibits and are given the opportunity to interact with and touch most of it. It takes at least 2-3 hours to see all of the floors but I feel like I could have taken more to fully appreciate this museum. I actually met the owner who was delightful and very informative. The museum has new developments planned and he mentioned they will be opening a hotel soon. I strongly recommend this masterpiece to anyone traveling in China!!

SWMBO wasn’t keen on another visit (Reviewed April 2019) to this wonderful museum but the attraction of the numerous small shops in the neighbourhood was too much for her to resist. This time we took the #66 bus to the bus’s terminus in FengYuan Road, came out of the terminus and turned left, at which point SWMBO became lost. We crossed the road and walked to the intersection with BaoYun Road. We turned right and walked until we came to its junction with Longin Road and turned left, after a few metres we saw signs to the museum. SWMBO now recognized the small shops and was again content. After a few minor diversions for retail therapy we crossed into Enning Road which is actually a continuation of Longin Road, and were soon at the museum. I still needed my passport and SWMBO her ID card to get into the site. We strolled past the ponds and pavilions which unlike last year are now open and down the escalator into the museum. SWMBO found a comfy bench to peruse her social media while I wandered around the museum. No discernable changes from last year, but still tremendously interesting and informative with most of the captions in both Chinese and English. After an hour I joined SWMBO to eat an orange before we ventured outside to explore the now open pavilions. All are very nice examples of contemporary Chinese craftsmanship and design. On the second floor there are a couple of ‘twee’ shops selling artifacts, where I thought the prices were telephone numbers! By the way, we could have drunk orange tea at ¥98 each, which didn’t impress SWMBO because on Monday we’d bought orange tea from the tea market for just a fraction on this price. As we strolled out, we looked at a painted diorama of the site. SWMBO commented it looked a very old view, I peered more closely and observed a couple of people on what appeared to be roller skates! There noted the banana trees growing which we’d missed on the way in. Then we strolled past more ‘twee’ shops and a cafes and eventually crossed the bridge and turned left and walked along a narrow lane to Enning Road. Then we retraced our steps to the bus terminus. On the way we stopped to admire some of the wonderful old buildings. See if you can spot Guangzhou’s very own Manneken Pis, in fact there’s four of them in Longin Road and you have to look up to see them from the east side of the road.
