The Tang dynasty, celebrated as a golden age in Chinese history, had Chang’an as its magnificent metropolis. Its openness was the culmination of earlier developments, from Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern dynasties’ integration policies to Sui’s military achievements.

The exhibition features a selection of over 165 sets of artefacts from Shaanxi and Hong Kong. Visitors can experience the splendour of Sui and Tang dynasties, journeying from the gloom of Wei, Jin and Northern and Southern dynasties into the brilliance of Chang’an. The exhibition highlights the grandeur of Tang dynasty, characterised by its openness, innovation and vitality, optimism and confidence, while also unveiling the commercial and military ties to Hong Kong during the era.
