Mixiu Art Museum is a legendary building. In addition to being far away from the city, it is very special that 80% of the building is buried underground, but it is not a real underground building, but because the ground is a nature reserve, in Japan There are many restrictions on the nature conservation law of the china and the construction method is adopted in order to protect the natural environment and integrate with the surrounding scenery.
