Nepali group inspired by China's modern approach to preserving its past

CHENGDU — A delegation of the Nepali Congress party recently visited the Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, Sichuan province, where its members were impressed by the innovative use of advanced technologies for preservation and presentation.

In the museum's interactive experience hall, they found themselves immersed in the ancient Shu civilization centering on present-day Sichuan. Donning the traditional attire, elaborate hairstyles and ceremonial crowns of Sanxingdui, they briefly stepped into the ancient past.

What fascinated them even more, however, was the museum's extensive use of advanced technology in the excavation, restoration and preservation of artifacts. They were impressed by the way cutting-edge techniques, such as artificial intelligence and 3D scanning, have helped breathe life into long-lost civilizations, allowing ancient artifacts to tell their stories once again.
