The Himalayas, located on the southern edge of the Tibetan Plateau, were once a vast ocean, with the rise of the earth's crust allowing mountains to emerge from the sea, and many fossils of ancient marine flora and fauna, including corals, have been found on the steep cliffs and deep valleys of the Himalayas.

On the occasion of the National Day, Tibet and Zhejiang used corals as the medium to exhibit more than 200 specimens of corals, fish, shellfish and other specimens from the coast of the East China Sea, so that the Tibetan people can appreciate the variety and scientific culture of the "treasures of the sea", build a bridge of friendship between the coast of the East China Sea and the roof of the world, and continue to write a new chapter of zhejiang and Tibetan family.
Laba Wangdui, deputy secretary of the party leading group and director of the Lhasa Municipal Bureau of Culture in the Tibet Autonomous Region, said at the opening ceremony that as a public platform for cultural exchanges and dissemination, museums should continuously expand and innovate development ideas, strengthen inter-museum exchanges and cooperation, hold exchange exhibitions through the way of "please come in and go out", pass on the cultures and different characteristics of different regions to the audience, and let the cultural relics stored in the museum go out of the display cabinet and get close to the audience.
