We were greeted by other exhibits in the musuems eg some bronze and artifict found in sg and other parts of asia.

There is even a Da Er Ya Bo inside!

the final gallery we visit is the Kang Xi Exhib itself.

Aisin-Gioro Xuanye, Qing Shengzu, was a hero to me.
Succeed the throne at 7, ruled for 61 yrs.
At 15, he arrested AoBai
At 19, defeated 3 Fan,
At 21, defeated Mongols
At 30 (1684), the Taiwan Zheng family surrendered
In 1696 he led three armies of 80,000 in the campaign against the Dzungars.

His finances is also well done. Thus building Kang Xi Sheng Shi.

There are 2 paintings in the hall. Both lengthed at least 10metres long. A picture of the dynasty during his time.

An armour was also sighted.
Me "James, i think u should wear this to go reservist next year. You look handsome in it"
James "No lah, i think wilson will look more handsome"
Wilson "MD, y not u wear"



There is also an interactive map of zi jin cheng. We concluded tat next year, we should consider going... Cheng Du!!! wahaha to see Wu Hou Ci
