HAIKOU, July 5 (Xinhua) -- The China (Hainan) Museum of the South China Sea has launched a diverse range of cultural and creative products, all inspired by precious underwater archaeological finds on display in its special Maritime Silk Road-themed exhibition series.
The exhibitions feature rare relics unearthed from shipwreck sites on the northwest continental slope of the South China Sea, as well as artifacts retrieved from the iconic Huaguang Reef shipwreck in the Xisha Islands. Every piece of cultural and creative products incorporates design elements from these centuries-old sunken treasures, turning the once hidden deep-sea heritage into portable, usable items that fit seamlessly into everyday routines.
