Amazing China photo contest kicks off

As part of the China-UK Year of Cultural Exchange, the 2015 Amazing China cellphone photo contest was launched on Monday in Beijing with the aim of promoting mutual understanding by encouraging tourists to discover the beauty of China.

The contest, which will run until November, is organized by China Daily, supported by the cultural branch of the Chinese embassy in Britain and assisted by Chinalink London.

Kang Bing, deputy editor-in-chief of China Daily and chairman of the contest organizing committee, said photos are an efficient way to express feeling and tell stories.
