Ancient treasures on display

The Hall of Martial Valor (Wuyingdian) in Beijing's Palace Museum is re-opening after months of winter-season rest.

The re-opening not only indicates the beginning of the peak tourist season, but also lifts the curtain on a new round of exhibitions.

The show, Dynastic Paintings and Calligraphy in the Palace Museum Collection, will display 68 ancient treasures. The display is split into three parts: from the 3rd to the 14th century, the Ming (1368-1644), and the Qing (1644-1911) dynasties.
