Visitors wait in line to enter the Hall of Martial Valor in Beijing's Palace Museum, also known as the Forbidden City on Sunday, October 11, 2015. The best-known scroll painting in Chinese art history - titled Along the River During the Qingming Festival - was completely unrolled for the first time since 2005. The scroll is only part of the special exhibition titled The Precious Collection of the Stone Moat, which includes 283 ancient paintings and calligraphy masterpieces once recorded in the Qing Dynasty emperors' catalog. The display is a main event celebrating the museum's 90th anniversary since opening to the public. The queue had already started before dawn on Sunday, a day before the famed scroll to be replaced by other items on October 12. (Photo/CFP)
