(HenanPixels)CHINA-HENAN-YINXU MUSEUM-NEW BUILDING-OPEN (CN)

(240226) -- ANYANG, Feb. 26, 2024 (Xinhua) -- An exhibit is pictured at the new building of Yinxu Museum in Anyang, central China's Henan Province, Feb. 26, 2024. A new building of the Yinxu Museum in Anyang officially opened to the public on Monday. Located near the archaeological site of the Yin Ruins, which is the location of the last capital of the Shang Dynasty (1600 B.C.-1046 B.C.), the expanded Yinxu Museum is the first national major archaeological museum to comprehensively present the Shang civilization. The new building boasts an exhibition area of 22,000 square meters, where nearly 4,000 items or sets of cultural relics, including bronzeware, pottery, jade objects, and oracle bones, are on display. The museum's old building was constructed in 2005. As archaeological work at the Yin Ruins continued to yield results, the building's mere 1,500-square-meter exhibition area became insufficient to effectively conserve and showcase the relics. This sparked the planning of the new building, and its constru

(231207) -- JINPING, Dec. 7, 2023 (Xinhua) -- This photo taken on Nov. 7, 2023 shows workers transporting a gas argon tank at the Deep Underground and Ultra-low Radiation Background Facility for Frontier Physics Experiments (DURF) in Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture of southwest China's Sichuan Province. A 2,400-meter-deep physics laboratory in southwest China's Sichuan Province became operational on Thursday, making it the deepest and largest underground lab in the world. Scientists believe the laboratory provides a "clean" space for them to pursue the invisible substance known as dark matter. They said the extreme depth helps block most cosmic rays that mess with the observation. The Deep Underground and Ultra-low Radiation Background Facility for Frontier Physics Experiments (DURF) is located beneath Jinping Mountain in Sichuan's Liangshan Yi Autonomous Prefecture. The DURF, with a total room capacity of 330,000 cubic meters, is the second phase of China Jinping Underground Laboratory. It started constru

(230613) -- YUMAI, June 13, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Yangzom walks out of the cabin to milk at Yumai Township in Shannan City, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region, June 10, 2023. Located on the China-India border, Yumai Township was once known as China's least populated township. For a long period since the 1960s, it was inhabited by only one household consisting of Yangzom, Zhoigar and their father Sangye Quba, who passed away in 2001. Before Sangye Quba's death, he expressed his belief that the authority would develop Yumai well. Nowadays, Sangye Quba's wish has been fulfilled. In February 2018, Tibet implemented the rural revitalization strategy, combining poverty alleviation and border defense with emphasis on key areas such as water and electricity supply, road construction, information networks, education, culture, health, and social security, striving to improve infrastructure and public services so as to accelerate the development of border areas. Since 2018, Yumai Township has embarked on the constru
