The relics that the experts were fixing are part of the third phase of the Old Summer Palace, or Yuanmingyuan, restoration project “Restoration 1860.” A total of five colored glazed porcelains unearthed from the Old Summer Palace’s Xiyang Lou and 24 pottery relics excavated from other areas at the palace are scheduled to be restored before April.
