A giant piece of jade found in the Yangtze River becomes the
most valuable treasure among the collections in the Olympic Museum
in Xiamen in east China's Fujian Province.
The Olympic Museum, to open in mid January, exhibits over 500
Olympic souvenirs, including Olympic torches, mascots, memorial
coins and badges.
Most of the souvenirs were donated by Wu Jingguo, a member of
the International Olympic Committee (IOC) who also invested to
build the museum.
The museum has been authorized to become a member of the
International Olympic Museum Union, the first for China.
