A Journey Through Qing Dynasty Culture
Imagine 🤳: Jade carvings fit for empresses, golden ritual objects that witnessed royal ceremonies, and intricate paintings showcasing summer retreats of China's last emperors. This curated collection from Hebei province’s \"mini Forbidden City\" reveals how Qing rulers blended Han, Manchu, and Tibetan cultural influences through art and architecture.
\"These artifacts are time machines,\" says museum curator Li Wei. \"They show how Chengde became a political and cultural stage where different ethnic groups connected.\"
