The Porcelain House in Tianjin is indeed worth a visit

I first saw this house on the internet. I was amazed at the time, how could there be such a peculiar house in the world! And today, I finally had a close encounter with it. I started at Wudadao, and almost mistook the Geda Building for the Porcelain House, fortunately, there was a text prompt on the Geda Building, which prevented a beautiful misunderstanding. To introduce it, it's best to rely on Baidu: The Porcelain House is located at No. 72 Chifeng Road, Heping District, Tianjin (near Heping Road commercial street), and is a French-style mansion built with ancient porcelain. The Porcelain House has a total of 4 floors, and the entire house from inside to outside, except for the marble-paved ground, is inlaid with porcelain pieces everywhere you can see, even the walls are made up of paintings pieced together with porcelain pieces. The entire building of the Porcelain House used more than 700 million pieces of ancient porcelain, over 13,000 pieces of ancient porcelain vases, plates, bowls, more than 300 stone sculptures from various dynasties, over 300 pieces of Han white jade stone lions, more than 300 porcelain cat pillows from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and over 20 tons of crystals and agates, etc. It is known as a priceless 'Chinese Ancient Porcelain Museum'. In April 2011, the Porcelain House was rated as a national AAA-level tourist attraction by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. The predecessor of the Porcelain House was a French-style mansion. In 2000, a collector named Zhang Lianzhi spent a huge sum of money to buy it. In 2005, when Zhang Lianzhi attended the Tianjin Asia-Europe Finance Ministers' meeting, he had dinner at the Huayun Museum and was stunned by a wall inlaid with ancient porcelain pieces. Inspired by this, he took out all the collections of Tang Sancai, Song and Yuan official kilns, and Ming and Qing treasures that he had collected over the years and turned them into unique building materials. On September 3, 2007, the Porcelain House was officially opened to the public and immediately became a landmark building in Tianjin. On September 23, 2010, the Huffington Post selected the fifteen most uniquely designed museums in the world, including the Louvre in Paris, the Denver Art Museum in the United States, the Pompidou Centre, etc., among which, the Porcelain House became the only museum in China to make the list.
