The exhibitions each have a special featuring, including the Silk Road, world heritages in China, Kuqa in the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, China's landscape and Chinese Lunar New Year. A series of videos about China, the Belt and Road Initiative, and China's fight against the novel coronavirus were available, along with the photos, on the internet.
