A photo exhibition featuring the quake-hit China's Sichuan province as well as Tibet's history and reality opened in Budapest on Friday in the Asia Center.

Some 220 photos are on display to introduce the disaster area and China's rescue and relief efforts, as well as religious culture and natural scenery in Tibet and life of Tibetan people.

Chinese Ambassador to Hungary Zhang Chunxiang said at the opening ceremony that the Hungarian government and its people have provided assistance to those affected by earthquake while overseas Chinese in Hungary also offered huge support for the quake-stricken region.

Li Guanghua, deputy secretary of the overseas Chinese association in Europe, said the visitors would know more about the situation in Sichuan province and the history of Tibet as well as achievement and progress in Tibet since China adopted reforms and opening-up policies.
