Exhibitions help forge closer cultural links between HK and mainland

The ongoing exhibition on the Hall of Mental Cultivation in Hong Kong is just one sign of the deepening links between the Palace Museum in Beijing and Hong Kong.

Separately, another major exhibition on Chinese royal rituals, Longevity and Virtues: Birthday Celebrations of the Qing Emperors and Empress Dowagers, is on at the Hong Kong Museum of History.

And in a related development, the Hong Kong Palace Museum, to be set up in the West Kowloon Cultural District, will become a permanent venue to display Chinese royal treasures in 2022.
