recently i spent over three hours looking, reading and enjoying the ehibits at the national palace museum located in the suburbs.

　　many local and foreign visitors go there daily to take pictures outside and spend endless hours inside. no cameras are allowed inside, but you can buy you can buy colored slides of the ehibits in the gift shop downstairs. there is a very large collection of beautiful jades. also, there is an ancient bronze vessel ehibit. some of the ehibits are changed regularly for special collections such as porcelain and silk paintings. my attention was mainly in the room with the wall-size slide show describing some archeological discoveries from pre-history tine.

　　also, the oracle bones’ ehibit was very good; there seemed to be an endless amount of rare, beautiful, interesting, and fascinating things.
