Liwan, as the confluence of the Three Rivers, is not only an important node of the Maritime Silk Road, but also the core area of Guangzhou's millennium commercial center. From the "origin of the West" to the "One Port Trade" of the Thirteen Factories, and then to countless overseas Chinese going global and giving back to their homeland, generations of overseas Chinese have jointly shaped the spiritual background of Xiguan Overseas Chinese Hometown. To this end, the Liwan District Overseas Chinese Federation has devoted a year to planning and preparing, striving to create a cultural feast that combines historical heritage, overseas Chinese warmth, and Xiguan characteristics. This exhibition focuses on five major chapters: "The Heart of Overseas Chinese - The Roots of the Western Pass - The Millennium Overseas Port - The New Journey of Overseas Chinese - The Brilliance of Overseas Chinese Art".
