Catch a view of China's retrieved relics

For anyone interested in China's relics that were adored by the Qing (1644-1911) imperial families, an ongoing exhibition at the National Museum of China should not be missed.

The show presents more than 600 Chinese cultural heritage items retrieved from overseas over the past 70 years.

The seven animal-head statues, including the newly donated horse-head statue by Macao-based tycoon Stanley Ho Hung-sun, that were looted in 1860 from the royal garden of the Old Summer Palace by the Anglo-French allied forces are among the highlights of the grand show.

The exhibition will end on Nov 27.
