Online gamers seek out city's rich treasures

Eagle-eyed lovers of history can compete for a top prize of 5,000 yuan in an online treasure hunt launched by the city's cultural heritage authority on Tuesday.

The online contest, called simply "Treasure Hunt in Museums", features about 100 museums and nearly 200 "treasures". Hunters will need sharp eyes to recognize 100 treasures and match them with their museums.

It is the first time the authority has run an online contest, said Ha Jun at the Beijing administration of cultural heritage on Monday.
