“Following the guidance of the Belt and Road Initiative, we want to demonstrate fashion in our own way, and let the world know the unique oriental beauty,” Zhang added.

The hall of the Silk Road Story displays an array of delicate silk dresses, where visitors can see the beauty of the smooth material.

Across the Silk Road hall, there are many fine artworks from Europe made of high porcelain – perfect examples of the harmonious union between Chinese and Western art.
