A half-day city excursion is traditionally organized for the afternoon of the 3rd day of the ICBL conference, and a number of side excursions for family members accompanying attendees will be arranged as well. Proposed sites and activities include:
National Palace Museum
The history between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party contributed to the relocation of National Palace Museum (NPM) artifacts to Taiwan and the artifacts subsequently becoming a crucial part of Taiwan's culture. A review of the NPM's history shows that it has inherited China's national culture spanning thousands of years and shoulders the responsibility of preserving and publicizing artifacts. NPM's current artifact collection contains Qing court artifacts from The Palace Museum, the Jehol temporary palace, and the Shenyang temporary palace.
