Travelers in time

A new exhibition at the Capital Museum offers a kaleidoscopic vision of the key moments in Zhejiang's history, Wang Kaihao reports.

Covering an area of around 100,000 square kilometers, the eastern coastal province of Zhejiang is not particularly large by Chinese standards, yet its rich history offers a panoramic insight into how Chinese culture formed, developed - and ultimately revived.

Thanks to the exhibition, The History and Culture of Zhejiang Province, running at the Capital Museum in Beijing, visitors can "travel" through seven millennia and delve into the ancient history of this eastern province in detail.
