Luze Guild Hall (Luoyang Folk Custom Museum)
潞泽会馆
A Qing-dynasty guild hall built by merchants from Lu'an and Zezhou in Shanxi. Its main hall and opera stage are well preserved, and it now houses a folk custom museum.
Luze Guild Hall sits on the east bank of the Chan River in the southeast of the old town. It was jointly built by merchants from Lu'an and Zezhou prefectures in Shanxi during the Qianlong reign of the Qing dynasty. It retains its stage building, main hall, rear hall and east and west side halls, with towering architecture and exquisite woodcarving. It is a National Key Cultural Relic Protection Unit. The site is now the Luoyang Folk Custom Museum, which displays wedding customs, seasonal festivals, household objects and traditional crafts of the Heluo region. Admission is free, and it is closed on Mondays. It is about 1.5 km from Luoyi Ancient City, so the two can be visited in a half day, and the surroundings are quiet.
