'''China Red Sandalwood Museum''' itself is a perfect craftwork. It looks spectacular, exquisite, archaic but modern.

The exhibition room covers an area of 10,000 square meters. Here you will touch the essence of red sandalwood culture. The corner tower of the [[Palace Museum]] and the [[Qianqiu Pavilion]] in the imperial garden assume an imperial air. 320 dragons carved in the [[Longquan Temple]] in [[Shanxi Province]] are in different postures. The delicate [[Beijing]] quadrangles and the Feiyun Building in Shanxi Province are representatives of red sandalwood arts. They are all artistic treasures in the Orient made of red sandalwood. Numerous basso-relievo, sculpture-in-the-rounds, fretworks give full display to the charms of red sandalwood.

Sandalwood is called the red wood because of its color. Its texture is hard, which makes it excellent material for making furniture. Here, the furniture made in Ming and Qing Dynasties, traditional furniture materials, designs, structures give a brand-new interpretation of the meaning of furniture.
