World Heritage Photo Exhibition Opens in Beijing

A photo exhibition capturing the diversity of world heritage, by Zhou Jiansheng, a Chinese photographer residing in Japan, opens in Beijing Tuesday to mark the 25th anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between China and Japan.

 

The five-day exhibition, sponsored by the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, will showcase 80 photographs documenting cultural and natural heritage in 67 countries and regions.

 

Zhou, now a special photographer with the Pacific Press Service (PPS) in Japan, began his ambitious world tour in 1994, a program to take photographs of world cultural and natural heritage. In eight years, he tackled incredible difficulties and traveled in 77 countries and regions unsupported. He shot some of the most renowned cultural and natural heritage, from the Arctic Circle to the Cape of Good Hope, during the trip.

 

In commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the normalization of the relations between China and Japan, Zhou launched his World Heritage Photo Exhibition in Tokyo last year.
