The museum is located on the southeastern outskirts of Liyan City, among the rapidly growing residential areas. It was erected in a small park on the shores of Lake Yan. The artificial hills conceal the lower part of the museum, and the streamlined volume of copper-colored panels, reminiscent of the museum in Ordos by MAD, is the "soaring" upper, with the exhibition "Present, Past and Future".
During their work, architects were inspired by the history of the city: in these places, the famous musician of the beginning of our era Tsai Yun saw a burning piece of wood, firmian or paulownia, that is, the types traditional for the manufacture of musical instruments, and from the sound of burning he realized that it would be rare in quality
qin (a type of zither). He pulled a tree out of the fire and made from it the legendary "Jiaoweiqin" - Qin "Burnt tail", as there were traces of fire on the end of the tool. Hence the theme of harmony, melody, poetry, "the embodiment of culture and life", etc., arises in the project.

The entrance square is located under the building, from there visitors enter the central courtyard of the museum. In general, the museum is accessible from different sides, the views open to it from the water, the opposite bank, from the city, so the architects hope for casual visitors as well.
