Located in Liandu district, Lishui, Zhejiang province, the new museum building features a courtyard-style design with three two-story buildings, covering an area of 13,800 square meters. The building harmoniously blends with the scenic landscape of Nanming Lake by the Oujiang River.

The museum houses eight exhibition halls with a total exhibition area of over 7,000 square meters. It includes two permanent exhibitions highlighting Lishui's unique ecological environment and achievements in ecological construction, as well as its rich and vibrant cultural history.
