Homepage to Showcase China's Gallery

A new comprehensive website showcasing China's modern and ancient arts, will be launched in Hong Kong on August 28 to boost cultural and economic exchange between Hong Kong and the Chinese inland areas.

This is the first website in Hong Kong that provides Internet surfers with the opportunity to enjoy various kinds of information on Chinese arts in different fields, including academic research, education, business, life, tourism and entertainment.

The website, china-gallery.com, operated by the Hong Kong-based China Gallery Group Limited, is aimed at bringing on Internet all kinds of historical places and cultural sites across China and providing necessary information for the economic cooperation between the two places, according to Siu Fai wing, chairman of the Hong Kong Gallery Center and Enterprise Co.

Siu had an ambitious plan to turn the website into a Chinese arts university and arts auctioning house. He said the website will emphasize on those art works and historical places in various parts of China that Hong Kong people have rarely paid a visit.

His company has so far signed cooperation agreements with many inland cities and relatively underdeveloped rural areas, including Dalian in Northeast China's Liaoning Province and Linyi County in East China's Shandong Province.
