To encourage travel between the two nations, Pakistan and China organised the exhibition “Gandhara History along the Silk Road,” which is still on display at the Palace Museum in Beijing. Hu Heping, the Minister for Culture and Tourism (MCT), officially opened the exhibition, which will run for three months. The exhibition will feature artefacts and Gandhara objects that have been given by prominent museums in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Taxila, and Karachi, Pakistan.

An exhibition organised by the Palace Museum, Department of Archaeology and Museums, China, and National Heritage and Cultural Division, Pakistan, featured a variety of artefacts, sculptures, and other items that were representative of the Gandharan culture, according to a press release from Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation (PTDC). 14 million people visit the Palace Museum each year.
