In the second half of this year, 29 Qing Dynasty relics, separated 60 years ago because of the civil war, will travel for the first time to Taiwan. Some relics originally in the collection of the Forbidden City were carried to Taiwan before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The exhibition, with the focus on Emperor Yongzheng (1722-1735) of the Qing Dynasty (1616-1911), is to be held in Taiwan in October, for which the island needs to borrow the portraits of Yongzheng and his concubines from the mainland.

The below pictures were some of the artefacts from Beijing's Palace Museum date from the Qing Dynasty, which will be shown for three months at the National Palace Museum in Taipei. The two museums are believed to have the world's most precious collection of Chinese relics.
