Construction of the Zhongtai World Museum officially began in August 2013, following three years of planning and building, and was completed and opened to the public on August 13, 2016. The museum complex spans over nine hectares, featuring an extensive exhibition area divided into 18 galleries (including 2 special exhibition rooms). The Wooden Sculpture Pavilion (formerly the Zhongtai Mountain Museum), located about 800 meters from the main museum within the Zhongtai Temple complex, is a themed exhibition hall showcasing wooden Buddha statues through the ages and is an exceptionally captivating special pavilion worth visiting.
