A new palace museum

More treasures from the Forbidden City, including a number of rare and exotic plants, will go on public display with the opening of a museum in the outskirts of Beijing. Deng Zhangyu reports.

A garden displaying unique plants from the Palace Museum, better known as the Forbidden City, will be part of the new branch of the museum that will be built in the outskirts of Beijing.

The garden was unveiled to media in a briefing, in which journalists were shown the developing new facility, which already includes the world's biggest relics-repair center to preserve the cultural treasures of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.
