Reflecting on my visit to the Dr Sun Yat-sen Museum (Kom Tong Hall), I didn't fully know the background of the spaces I was photographing until I watched this documentary. It truly brings the old days to life, especially seeing how children and family members used to gather on the verandah with its stone-arched gallery as they went about their daily lives. Objects like the mirrored door, color-tiled floor and walls, and wicker chairs all formed an integral part of their daily living.

Not sure if these are the original wicker chairs that were once used by the families as shown in the footage. I guess they could be replicas.

Ornate and colorful tilework on the floor and walls. Twin louvered doors with small brass handles, which can be fastened by the metal wall hooks once opened.

Regrettably, I don't have individual room pictures of the other floors, as photography was not permitted outside of these designated areas at the time of my visit.
