The Porcelain House is a priceless building decorated with 4,000 pieces of ancient porcelain, 400 pieces of jade stone carving, 20 tons of crystal and agate and million pieces of ancient Chinese ceramic chips. It is located in a bustling area, close to the former residence of an instigator of the Xi'an incident and a patriotic hero in China. Originally a 100-year-old French style villa, the residence is a five-storied building with a total area of 3000 square meters. On the roof of the house is embedded a 768-meter-long dragon relief made by over ten thousand pieces of porcelain and an eye-catching English word, 'China Dream', with Chinese characters and the flag of China on both sides. Inside the house there are many famous paintings comprised by ceramic chips, including the world famous painting, Mona Lisa.
