A collection of national treasures has ended its public debut
outside of the former Imperial Palace. The exhibition, held at
the Museum of Chinese Folk Art here in Beijing, was a big hit
among museum-goers.(CNTV)

Chen Siguang, curator of Museum of Chinese Folk Art, said, "This is a precious piece from the Ming Dynasty, some 600 years ago. It’s a teapot made out of a whole piece of jade. You can see some important totems of Chinese culture on it: a dragon and a phoenix. It bears the exquisite techniques of ancient artisans. "

The exhibition lasted for a month. And now after their vacation, the pieces will be carefully transported back home.
