I thought I had arrived in Australia, but it turned out to be the Meixihu International Culture and Art Centre in Changsha

The Meixihu International Culture and Art Centre, designed by Zaha Hadid, is like a blooming lotus flower on the shore of Meixi Lake, and is acclaimed as the world's largest lotus flower building. This building, with a total area of about 120,000 square meters, consists of three main parts: an art museum, a grand theater, and a small theater. Its design inspiration comes from the lotus flower, with an elegant and dynamic shape, as if it is a perfect fusion of nature and architectural art. Each venue has its unique charm; the sculptural lobby of the grand theater provides a perfect stage for performing arts, the contemporary art museum displays a rich variety of artworks, and the flexibility of the small theater makes it an ideal place for various events. The architectural shape of the Culture and Art Centre is unique, with the curtain wall made of GRC shaped double-curved panels, each one unique, showcasing the outstanding talent of architect Zaha Hadid. This building not only has high aesthetic value but is also a vibrant and creative platform for cultural exchange.
