More than 800 cultural relics from the Palace Museum will be delivered to and displayed at the opening exhibition of the Hong Kong Palace Museum (HKPM), which will serve as a historical and artistic classroom for young people in Hong Kong.

Song Jirong, head of the restoration workshop of the Palace Museum, also known as the museum's "hospital" for relics, made the remarks during interviews with Chinese media on Saturday.

Song, who is also a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), said the list of cultural relics to be delivered to Hong Kong has not yet been decided as the Palace Museum is determined to deliver the most exquisite cultural relics to Hong Kong.

Song said that in order to ensure Hong Kong people to enjoy the finest cultural relics, the Palace Museum cultural relic doctors are conducting health assessments in batches. The cultural relic doctors will use high-tech equipment such as CT and infrared spectroscopy to conduct thorough examinations on the relics.
