Ye Liu Shuyi pointed out that there are a total of 914 precious exhibits in the entire exhibition hall, which are currently being transported to Hong Kong and have not been officially exhibited at this stage, so photos of the exhibits will be posted for the time being.
According to Chen Zhisi, who is also the chairman of the Hong Kong Palace Museum Co., Ltd., each exhibit is priceless, and the insurance fee for the exhibits alone has cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
Ye Liu Shuyi also said that the museum advertises the fusion of China and the West, so the exhibits in the museum not only display Chinese collections, but also borrowed exhibits from other foreign museums and large brands.
She expressed that she was very much looking forward to the opening of the museum, describing it as "excited and eagerly awaited", and bluntly said that she was very happy to join the West Kowloon Cultural District as a long-term member, "Even if there are long queues to buy tickets to enter the museum, I believe the public can't wait. I look forward to visiting this top museum in person in the future to appreciate these wonderful exhibitions and precious treasures up close.”
