     Jointly presented by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the China Manned Space Agency, and organised by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department, the China Manned Space Exhibition, which has been staged at the Hong Kong Science Museum (HKScM) and the Hong Kong Museum of History (HKMH) since its opening on December 1 last year, has received an overwhelming response from the local public and tourists. As of yesterday (February 18), the exhibition had welcomed more than 280 000 visitors, with the section at the HKScM closing on the same day.

Visitors can still witness the extraordinary journey in achieving China's manned space development goals.
