The Hong Kong Museum of History and the Museum for lending PolyU the animated map ‘Silk Roads: the Routes Network of Chang’an-Tianshan Corridor’ and the ‘Chronology of Notable Events along the Silk Road’ previously displayed in the Museum’s exhibition Miles upon Miles: World Heritage along the Silk Road. Also featured in this exhibition are a number of beautiful objects acquired by Dr Ting over the years from various countries along the Silk Road, as well as his Silk Road book collection. Apart from providing us with a glimpse of the customs and traditions of those countries, these exhibits also attest to Dr Ting’s key to learning: ‘travel far, read wide’. The marks left by ethnic groups originating from the Silk Road countries are also introduced in this exhibition with a view to examining their important role in the development of modern Hong Kong.

是次「與丁新豹博士漫遊絲綢之路」展覽，旨在令理大師生得以了解絲綢之路的概略。蒙丁博士居中襄助，是次展覽獲香港歷史博物館特別借出「綿亙萬里：世界遺產絲綢之路」展覽中的「絲綢之路︰長安─天山廊道的路網」動畫地圖及「絲綢之路大事年表」，謹此致謝。丁博士多年來在絲路國家蒐集的多件精緻物品及藏書亦有展出，我們既可以一窺絲路國家的風土民情，亦能感受丁博士讀萬卷書，行萬里路的治學門徑。絲路國家的族裔在香港的蹤跡，在本次展覽亦有介紹，以了解他們在香港近代發展中的重要地位。
