More than 100 historical relics from nine major Chinese archaeological sites are now on display in an exhibition “The Origins of Chinese Civilisation” at the Hong Kong Palace Museum.

The exhibits, provided by 14 institutions and museums across the country, include a batch of excavates from a national-level project tracing the beginning of Chinese civilization, and many important findings in modern Chinese archaeology.

The exhibition runs through February next year.

China Daily’s Adam Lam took the photos.
