Chinese roots

The “Hong Kong Story” permanent exhibition at the Hong Kong Museum of History reopened on Wednesday after a major revamp emphasising the city's roots in Chinese culture, with visitors expressing mixed reactions. It has been reduced from two storeys to one floor but expanded from eight to 10 galleries, featuring more than 2,800 exhibits. The exhibition's preface states that “shifting tides across China’s vast territory” have “inevitably affected” Hong Kong.
