JOURNALISTS gathered at the Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum on Friday for an exclusive press preview of a highly anticipated exhibition set to open to the public on Monday.

The preview took place inside the historic Xiannongtan Temple, also known as the Altar of the God of Agriculture. Media members received a first look at the curated displays housed within the capital’s iconic heritage site ahead of the official 27 July launch.

Marking the second anniversary of the successful inscription of the Beijing Central Axis on the UNESCO World Heritage List, heritage sites along the Beijing Central Axis, such as the Palace Museum, Zhengyangmen Gate, and Altar of the God of Agriculture, also referred to as the Xiannongtan Temple, will either open to the public free of charge or launch new exhibitions on 27 July. Over the past two years, efforts to conserve, inherit and make good use of the Beijing Central Axis have advanced steadily, achieving new outcomes in areas including related legal system, UNESCO World Heritage signage, landscape improvement, creative utilization, collaborative protection and international communication. — Xinhua
