Step back in time with the unveiling of over 400 ancient relics from the Ming Dynasty at the China Museum of the South China Sea in Hainan Province. These invaluable artifacts were salvaged from two shipwrecks resting 1,500 meters beneath the surface of the South China Sea, offering a unique window into China's rich maritime history.
The collection showcases a diverse array of Ming-era treasures, including meticulously crafted ceramics, navigational tools, and personal belongings of sailors. Each piece tells a story of the bustling trade and cultural exchanges that once thrived in these waters, highlighting the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the period.
For those eager to delve deeper into these underwater discoveries, the CGTN documentary \"Silk Road Sunken Treasures\" is set to premiere on December 28, providing an in-depth look at the challenges and triumphs of recovering these sunken treasures.
