All his life he collected antique porcelain pieces. He had accumulated a huge amount of them, and so that the good would not gather dust in vain, he decided to decorate an old mansion with assembled porcelain.

1. It took 5 years to finish the building. The porcelain house was opened for visitors on September 2, 2007. The building itself was built 100 years ago and is made in the French style. The 50-year-old businessman bought this vacant building for his porcelain collection for 1 million yuan ($160,000). It used to house the Central Ministry of Finance of the Qing Dynasty, and since 1949, a bank.
2. The house is decorated not only with porcelain, but also with white marble and natural crystals. 3,000 antique porcelain vases dating back to the Tang Dynasty (618-907), 4,000 dishes and bowls, dozens of tons of porcelain fragments, crystal and agate, 400 carved marble elements were used to decorate the building. All this cost Zhang Lianzhi $ 65 million. At the same time, he himself actively participated in the finishing work.
