The Liuligongfang Museum showcases glassware from ancient China (dating back to 476 BC) and Europe and the personal collection of Loretta Yang. The museum was established to re-kindle the interest in glass in China and funded by the Liuligongfang Crystal Company established by Yang and her husband in 1996. The 1000 square metre museum has an exterior wall built of 12,000 individually made glass bricks each 30x30x30 cm in size and weighing 10kg.
