The newly unveiled museum is a piece of cutting-edge art itself - literally.

The two-storey glass-walled gallery clings to the side of a 541-foot-tall cliff in a national park in southern China.

Built in a natural dent on top of the cliff face, the building gives the impression as if it has been built into the rock.

The spectacular visual effect has earned the 800-square-metre (8,611 square feet) structure its nickname, the 'floating museum'.



The architect, He Wei, said the curvy glass exterior wall creates the illusion that the building is growing out of the cliff.

The museum is designed by 3andwich Design, a Beijing-based architectural firm led by China-born German-trained He Wei.

The architect said in his mind the gallery, which took a year to build, should be a viewing point with impressive sense of space.


Lalasticlala pls i need ur help Asap, sent u a mail.

is this a museum or a library

The museum's lounge area (pictured) boasts sleek wooden panels and columns, marble floor lining and tasteful decor.




Users of the meeting rooms would be able to enjoy breath-taking limestone mountains while going through presentations.

When they will know their village people are strong is when an earthquake will happen on the mountain and probably cause land slides.

Then they will know.

By using glass, a light building material in rock, Mr He hopes that the building could create a harmony between a man-made structure and nature.


A stunning drone video on Design Wire shows that the transparent attraction standing above the clouds as it overlooks river valleys.


In an interview with Design Wire, Mr He said buildings connect humans and natural landscape and that he hopes the three elements co-exist in this building.



The transparent attraction stands nearly 550 feet above the ground and overlooks river valleys and limestone hills.

Are you wishing that or just saying,?

This is a risk waiting to turn disaster na!?

come oo! this country just dey dey make us feel like we don't exist under the same globe...y this country go just dey dey intimidate person anyhow? sometimes I wonder if our leaders from this angle of the world(9ja) aren't ashamed of themselves....they seriously need to hide their faces in shame mehn!!

China this, China that, China everywhere ! Good for them. A once impoverished country that opened up four decades ago is today the world's second largest economy. All thanks to visionary leaders it has had. This year, China plans to send a manned satellite to a part of the moon that has never ever been explored before! There's a lot Nigeria can learn from China's development and meteoric rise. Question is: Are our leaders willing to learn?

Wow!

Nice

Wow cool.. If Nigeria hope to achieve anything meaningful, it should find a way to attract most of brains that have left the shores for greener pastures, and the only way of doing that is better pay and security

I say this to myself every day; guy if you no go China for your life time, you don fvck up.



These Chinese guys that people said are producing fake things are better off than Nigerians that criticises everything and tribalises everything.

I weep for my dear country

china I hope you become the world's biggest super power soon I just like you guys I swear down but am contented with being a Nigerian we too can make it big.

Wch kind country be this self

I weep for my country.

These guys keep pushing the boundaries of design and innovation. I wonder what Nigeria would've been like if China had colonized us.

Amazing

China keeps showing to us that ''mosquito eyes'' are far better than ''okpolo eyes'' because ''okpolo eye'' no be open eye. China keeps taking science and technology beyond limits.

You are amazing

No...they are not.. some are only interested in cattle rearing,promoting indiscriminate grazing of cattle and construction of statues....

People be blaming Nigeria for it condition

But who will blame them for their own condition

Abeg, this country is too good in development, they should just sale Nigeria to them or lease Nigeria to them so that they can help us to develop it, abeg

they will fix it faster even before ur zoo country produces toothpicks......

OMG

This is amazing. China is a place I would like to visit. Their creativity is second to none.

Naija will get there someday but our architects and engineers should stop giving us 19th century designs.

What do you expect from right thinking people with high​ grade minds. The reverse is the case over here. No plans, just one way traffic. I weep for this country. Baba God please next time consult me before you transfer me to anywhere specifically Nigeria. I would have preferred Afghanistan self.
