Relics returned to Yuanmingyuan put on display

A permanent exhibition space was opened on Thursday at Yuanmingyuan, also known as the Old Summer Palace, to display 37 stone relics returned to the park from around Beijing to remember an anniversary of pain.

"We hope more people can see the cultural relics and admire the past glory of this garden," said Li Xiangyang, deputy director of the administration of Yuanmingyuan Ruins Park.

"These exhibits are witnesses of the prosperity and stigma in Chinese history. They also bear people's strong collective emotion."
