HONG KONG, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- Over 500 photographs taken in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) and early 20th century will be on display at the Hong Kong Museum of History from Wednesday, selected from over 24,000 photographs in a collection donated by the Moonchu Foundation on Tuesday.
The exhibits captured moments of major historical events such as the Second Opium War (1856-1860) and the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), and provided records of the urban landscapes, historic buildings and people's livelihood in those days. Most of the exhibits have never been publicly displayed before.
