A Surprise to Hong Kong
A fortnight later, Hong Kong people were surprised to learn that the re-entry module of Shenzhou-5, the first Chinese astronaut Mr. Yang Liwei, his spacesuit and other paraphernalia pertinent to this epic launch would appear in an exhibition at the Hong Kong Science Museum. Before long, the exhibition instilled an enthusiasm in space exploration throughout the territory.

Unprecedented Arrangements for the Exhibition
Hong Kong Science Museum made unprecedented arrangements for staging this exhibition. From November 1 through 4, the Exhibition on China's First Manned Space Mission was featured round-the-clock for over 76 hours. More than 103,000 visited the exhibition.

Gifts for Hong Kong
Before departing from Hong Kong, the Delegation of China's First Manned Space Mission presented two large satellite images of Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta to the Government of HKSAR. Mr. Yang Liwei also donated his training suit to the Hong Kong Science Museum as permanent collection.

Let the Dream Go On
The exhibition, though ephemeral, demands an all-out effort to exploit the accomplishments of China's space programmes for long-term goals in education of science and technology. For this reason, the China Manned Space Engineering Office produced a DVD titled "A Dream Come True" that chronicles the achievements of China's space missions. The Hong Kong Science Museum and the Hong Kong Space Museum join hands to produce a series of educational activities and websites that, along with this exhibition "China's First Manned Space Mission Part II - Gifts for Hong Kong", constitute a continual effort to let the dream of space exploration go on.
