About the event

Cities are thickly inhabited by memories. The process of the city development has been inscribed into the urban landscape: the renovation of an old building, the launch of a new railway, the creation of a green space, and the operation of an innovative public service……

To celebrate the 10th year of the Guangzhou Award, we called for photos under the theme of “Growing with the cities”and received more than 490 pieces from all over the world that show the infrastructure construction, changes and development, folk culture, and citizens’ daily life of global cities.

In collaboration with renowned photographers and representatives of the international organizations, we carefully selected photos from all submissions for our exhibitions online and offline.

Kunming is a famous national historical and cultural city. The history of the Kunming city can be traced back to 765 A.C. when the Nanzhao Kingdom started its construction. During the late Ming Dynasty, the Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty established its capital in Kunming.



Kunming has a low-latitude subtropical plateau mountain monsoon climate in the north latitude. It owns a mountainous plain landscape, surrounded by mountains on three sides and bordered by Dianchi Lake in the south, with beautiful scenery along the lake. Kunming has a pleasant spring-like climate, with no intense heat in summer and no severe cold in the winter, for which it enjoys the reputation of “the Spring City”.

Jiangnanxi is a place of mystery where many small stores are seemed from the streets to the communities, all with unique flavour. It’s just like a treasure hunt that you can find something new every several steps.
