A photo exhibition depicting the ancient towns of Chengdu, Sichuan province, is being held in the city's Kuan and Zhai alleys, two streets built in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

On display are nearly 80 photos of Xilai, Pingle, Huanglongxi, Luodai, Jiezi and Tai'an. There are more than 20 Chinese and six foreign photographers, including Yan Layma, Audrey Salmon and Benjamin Beller from France, Victorio Guida from Italy, Razvan Ciuca from Romania, and Christine Cauble from the United States.

Organized by Chengdu municipal tourism administration, the six foreign photographers visited the towns from Nov 19 to Nov 21.

After the show ends the photos will be shown in Pingle on Jan 16.
