The Dezhou Exotic Stones Culture Museum is located in the Huayuan Company compound at No. 22 Chuangye Road, Canal Economic Development Zone, Dezhou City. Established in November 2013, it is a non-enterprise cultural organization approved by the Dezhou Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Press and Publication and registered with the Dezhou Municipal Bureau of Civil Affairs. It is also the largest museum north of the Yellow River that primarily displays a wide variety of unique Lingbi stones.

The museum was founded by Mr. Hu Jianguo, an entrepreneur and renowned exotic stone collector in China. Passionate about nature and the culture of exotic stones, he has a particular fondness for Lingbi stones. For over a decade, supported financially by his own company, Huayuan Group, he has traveled across much of China in search of stones with unique artistic forms. By the end of 2014, he had collected over a thousand Lingbi stones of varying sizes, including more than ten large stones weighing around 80 tons. Additionally, there is a collection of over a hundred other stones, such as inkstones and ornamental rocks, featuring unusual shapes and strong artistic appeal, presenting a spectacular and dazzling array.
