An archaeological discovery in the MTR station

You don’t really have to go to the museum for an exhibition. The Sung Wong Toi 宋王臺MTR station, the location itself is already one of the major archaeological discoveries in HK. As the young generation in HK, I haven’t heard of the Sacred Hill before, until I came across with this exhibition. “Treasures from Sacred Hill” - Song-Yuan Archaeological Discoveries at Sung Wong Toi Sacred Hill聖山 (aka Hill of the King of Sung), that no longer exists, is the location which becomes what we called Sung Wong Toi. The penultimate emperor of the Song 宋Dynasty was believed to stay on the hill upon his escape from Yuan 元. The hill was partially flattened during the Japanese Occupation, and then completely levelled in the 1950s for the expansion of Kai Tak airport. During the construction of the Sung Wong Toi MTR station, relics from the Song and Yuan periods, including massive of celadon wares, were unearthed in the discovery. There exhibited incense burners with monster decorations, tiles with family names, household utensils such as bowls and basins with carved design or painting. My favourite ones are the cutie goldfish and the tiny dices. #exhibition #museum #ancient #文物 #relics #museumlover #culture #chineseculture #custom #explorehongkong #hongkongexplore #hk #hongkong #hkiger #hkig #hkinfluencer #hkkol #hkblogger #hklifestyle #展覽 #香港 #香港好去處 #週未好去處
