The four-floor Liuli China Museum is definitely the most eye-catching spot on Taikang Road ?one exterior corner is covered by a huge splash of white glass peony petals. It is the first museum in China that features a comprehensive contemporary collection of liuli (glass works) art from China and overseas. Works of some of the best artists in the world are showcased, as well as glass artifacts. The museum was founded by renowned glass artist and sculptor Loretta Hui-shan Yang and her husband Zhang Yi. On the ground floor are a cafe and gift shop offering items from promising glass designers, and various accessories and souvenirs. With its cozy, inviting interior, the cafe Xiao San Tang is an excellent spot for those seeking a good, healthy meal, or just a glass of wine on a Sunday afternoon. Admission: Free until November 1 after the Expo ends; thereafter 20 yuan.
