Zhongzheng Hall, the site of exchanges between Tibetan Buddhism and Han culture 500 years ago, is once again hosting a display of ancient Tibetan relics.
The hall, nestled in the Palace Museum, is featuring more than 60 Tibetan Buddhist antiques, including 32 embroidered banners and 34 Buddhist sculptures once owned by the royal family living in the Forbidden City.
"Tibetans have a long history of communicating with the country's ancient royal families and the Han ethnic group," said Zheng Xinmiao, head of the Palace Museum.
