Recently, South Korea is talking about the legend of "turning waste mines into treasure.",
It tells the story of Guangming City, South Korea, transforming

 Guangming cave in Jiaheshan into a boutique theme park.
The miracle of turning waste mines into treasure is the result 

of Liang Jida's innovative thinking and decision-making.

The project will be built into a cultural landscape beyond

 time and space, past and present, and into the future,
These include "the world of light" - creating a fascinating 

fantasy world with 3D images and laser lighting,
"The palace of underground art",

 the "water world" created by using underground water
"Golden Road praying wall" with the meaning of "Shou Fu Kang Ning",

 and "miner's spring" built by exploiting groundwater,
In addition, people walk through the stone "not old gate",

 golden waterfall, golden palace, wine underground palace and modern history museum.

Among them, the gallery of the project stands at the entrance of Guangming cave,
It was designed by Jean Nouvel, a French architect 

who won the Pritzker Prize, and built with 62 sea containers.

The gallery displays prehistoric cave murals found in Lascaux 

Cave in southwest France from 1940 to 1963
And commemorating the 130th anniversary of the establishment 

of diplomatic relations between South Korea and France.
Although these prehistoric cave murals are reproductions, they are also exhibited in 

Asian countries for the first time, which is of great significance to Korean culture.

After entering the exhibition hall, visitors will be exposed to a dense jungle,
This is the real effect of the Lasco cave shot by 130 beam projectors.
Designers create camouflage patterns on walls and ceilings,
There are Paleolithic drawings in the box and various rock exhibits in the hall.

The mayor of Guangming city once said frankly that the use of 

second-hand containers for building renovation has incomparable advantages,
While the cost is controllable, it can bring huge economic benefits,
At the same time, it is also a more environmentally friendly building mode, 

which will not affect the local cave geographical environment.
