Time Out says

With tensions running high between Japan and China, what better time to marvel at the ancient heritage of the Middle Kingdom? Okay, the timing could have been a little better, but this exhibition of architectural treasures from China's different regions and dynasties, covering some 3,000 years of history, should be well worth checking out all the same.
