A personal art museum donated by Chinese-American painter Li Zijian and one of the world's largest private art museums by floor area. The permanent 'Humanity and Love' oil-painting series works in a rural-realist style depicting maternal love, childhood innocence and Yellow River countryside scenes; the monumental historical painting 'National Memorial for the Victims of the Nanjing Massacre' is permanently displayed here, leaving viewers solemn. The white lakeside building cluster is itself an internet-famous photo spot—you get both the art and the shots.
