The event, which launched on May 25, will run until June 25 and coincides with a promotional event for Shanxi's intangible cultural heritage, featuring over 40 creative products from the Shanxi Museum.

In recent years, the Shanxi Museum has focused on both "bringing in" and "going out," using exhibitions, seminars, and digital media to showcase the profound heritage and contemporary value of Chinese civilization.

The Yingxian Wooden Pagoda is the tallest and oldest surviving wooden pagoda in the world. The exhibition features over 130 high-definition images, organized into three main sections: "Architectural Miracle", "Buddhist Kingdom within the Pagoda", and "Hidden Treasures". These sections collectively highlight the architectural brilliance and cultural significance of the pagoda.

Fiji, the first country in the South Pacific region to establish diplomatic relations with China, celebrated 50 years of diplomatic ties in 2025. Earlier this year, Fiji issued a Year of the Horse stamp featuring a jade horse from the Western Zhou Dynasty (c.11th century-771 BC), which is housed at the Shanxi Museum, symbolizing the enduring cultural exchange between the two nations.
