China News Service, July 4th. According to Hong Kong's "Wen Wei Po", the Hong Kong Palace Museum, which was originally scheduled to open on July 2, was postponed to officially welcome visitors to the 3rd due to the influence of the typhoon, attracting a large number of citizens to the exhibition.
The museum has also made special arrangements to open earlier and extend its business hours.
Before the official opening of the museum on the morning of the 3rd, more than 100 people were waiting outside the museum, and the first-ranked people arrived two and a half hours earlier.
Some traditional culture lovers have done their homework and went straight to the museum to see the national treasures of calligraphy and painting. The palace exhibits such as dragon robes and dragon chairs are the most popular among the public.
