台灣國際重唱藝術節

Some scholars claim The Palace Museum in Taipei Taiwan is one of the top 4 museums in the World in terms of its archival value.  Though its ranking is still debatable, it is no question that The Palace Museum has the most valuable treasure from the Dynastic China! 
For better preservation, the treasures were collected from all over China during the civil war in the late 1940’s.  As a result, the whole precious archive is saved and well-preserved from the civil war and the later disastrous “Culture Revolution”. 
If you are facinated by the rich Chinese culture, the Palace Museum is definitely a good place to go!
