The sun hour glass museum

#springwander A sand museum with the largest hourglass in the world. Sand art works with the theme of sand, "time" and "environment" and various sands from around the world are on display. The building is a pyramid-shaped with 6 total glass walls. In the central time hole, the world's largest one-year hourglass "sand calendar" is set up in a space 8 metres above the ground in the hope of preserving the "sounding sand" and protecting the environment. Sand with a total weight of 1 ton falls over a year in a glass container with a height of 5.2 metres and a diameter of 1 metre. On New Year's Eve, the annual event "Time Festival" is held, which rotates the sand calendar by half.
