An exhibition recapping the glorious history of the Chinese women’s volleyball team kicked off Monday in Tai Po, a day after the Volleyball Nations League Hong Kong 2024 drew an exciting close in the city.

Titled "National Honor - The Spirit of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team", the event is co-organized by the Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK) and Tianjin University of Sport and will run through July 1.

It showcases a slew of items – such as medals, uniforms, and shoes – that chronicle the national team’s proud achievements on many sporting occasions.

A friendly match between women's volleyball teams from Tianjin and the EdUHK was also held on Monday.
