Tourists are flocking to see a mansion involved in China's biggest smuggling ring after it was opened as an exhibit by the government.

The Red Mansion, a seven-storey guesthouse outside of Xiamen, which was reportedly used to lure Chinese officials into the country's largest smuggling ring has been opened as an anti-corruption exhibition.

Visitor numbers have been limited to 1,000 a day as people flock to see the mansion's infamous blood-red banqueting halls, sauna, massage rooms and private cinema. A hoard of gold bars, tiger skins and sports cars are also on display.
