To mark the opening of the exhibit, people are invited to Government House on May 24 from 1 to 3 p.m. for a free event including a lion dance, Chinese folk dancing and a graceful Tai Chi demonstration. 

After the demonstrations, visitors are invited to a reception in Government House's historic ballroom.
