Sands China said in a recent statement that on April 17, one hundred of its staff members visited a cultural relics exhibition in Hengqin, where they were able to learn about a comprehensive collection consisting of 3,000–5,000-year-old Chinese cultural treasures.
As part of the company’s ongoing education promotion series of events and activities for team members, the statement noted that the one-day visit aimed to enhance team members’ comprehension of Chinese history and culture.
The staff members toured the “Treasures of Ancient Shu – Sanxingdui and Jinsha” exhibition at the Hengqin Cultural and Art Complex in the Guangdong-Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone in Hengqin, according to the statement.
With some recently discovered artifacts on public display for the first time, the exhibition features a total of 163 sets of national treasures from the ancient Chinese Shu* civilization, including bronze, gold and jade artifacts. Moreover, 36 are classified as first-grade cultural relics. The statement added that the exhibition’s artifacts are from Sanxingdui and Jinsha, the two most significant archaeological sites of the Shu civilization, both of which are in Sichuan Province.
Sands China Ltd Executive Vice Chairman Wilfred Wong Ying-wai was quoted by the statement as saying: “The exhibition’s rich display of cultural relics and their accompanying in-depth academic interpretations are a beautiful, thought-provoking and appealing way for our team members to gain a deeper understanding of the historical development of China. Appreciating the artistic charm and significance of these artefacts enhances our understanding of the evolution of Chinese civilisation and inspires a great sense of patriotism and pride in our nation.”
