4. Zhang Lianzhi: Huayun Museum
Huayun Museum, Tianjin's first private museum, was dubbed "The Edible Museum" by the celebrated writer Feng Jicai, appropriate as it is located inside a Cantonese-style restaurant.
Zhang Lianzhi, the restaurant's boss established three museums in which he put 3,000 of his privately-owned pieces. The museums include the Huayun Museum which features bronze ware, stone tablets and stone carvings; Juanzhen Museum, which focuses on furniture from the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Guya Museum, which focuses on modern firearms.
