A visitor views a Go bowl displayed at the Go Museum in Luoyang, central China's Henan Province, May 14, 2019. Wang Tongling displays more than 30,000 exhibits related to Go (Weiqi), showcasing historical development of the Chinese board game in her private Go museum. Go is an abstract two-player strategy board game, in which players compete to surround more territory than their opponent. With a history of about 4,000 years, it was regarded as one of the most refined skills that an ancient Chinese intellectual could have. (Xinhua/Li An)
