Lydia Hong Chen's art museum, the Metaverse Art Museum in ShenZhen, China, was founded for displaying her light art, but she still works as a music artist and documentary director. She also serves as the art consultant of Shenzhen Railway Real Estate Group, and is committed to creating multimedia digital visual art for Shenzhen Metro and Metro Real Estate. The Shenzhen Metro, a high-tech subway, combined with metaverse digital visual art, could allow people to travel through virtual and reality. Taking the Shenzhen Metro could be not only a high-tech subway, but also a subway with humanistic care. This would allow digital media visual art to enter the real subway.

ShenZhen Eye, a world-class subway station built by Shenzhen Metro Group, is a digital multimedia visual art feast created by the visual art team of Lydia Chen from the Metaverse Art Museum, with Shentie Real Estate Group's endless travel, reaching infinite possibilities. It is a check-in place for modern young people and an exhibition hall for enterprises and governments to visit and study. Shenzhen Metro is the first enterprise to introduce a Metaverse multimedia digital visual art into the subway. It helps China's subway rank among the most artistic in the world.
