As China prepares to usher in the Year of the Monkey, Guangdong provincial government invites you monkey around with your camera and share your photos of the province to celebrate Chinese New Year.
Be it the attractive spiral of Canton Tower or the movements of lion dancing and Wing Chun, there are plenty of things in Guangdong to draw inspiration from. So, if you currently live in the province or have Guangdong close to your heart elsewhere, we'd love to see your photo impressions of the province. Big prizes are up for grabs for the most popular photos.
All you need is a photo taken by yourself. It can feature Guangdong traditional art and culture, scenic spots, world heritage sites, outstanding views, landmarks, colorful or modern life in the province, etc. We encourage you to get into the photo too!
