Luo Hong Art Museum
Outside, this museum is landscaped with pine trees, stones, flowers and lake scenery. Anything around it fades into each other. In the lake, fancy carp and black swans are cruising around, lulling you into an illusion that you were standing in a natural reserve where all things fall into place.
With the skillful use of pure white and lucency, this stretch of land is basking in gorgeous light and shade. That, coupled with creators’ dedication, makes every nook and cranny of it ostensibly simple yet profoundly exquisite. If you are an art buff and have the mood for a trip, here, Luo Hong Art Museum, is the very spot.
