3 decades on - a look into China's recent rise

"Our thirty years", a themed photo exhibition showcasing the phenomenal transformation of China in the last three decades, recently opened to the public free of charge at the China Science and Technology Museum.

The exhibition features 300 photographic works of excellence from 1978 to 2008, and is divided into 15 different themes, such as politics, systems, commercial community, hi-tech life and Olympic dreams.

From the construction of the new socialist countryside to the rescue effort of the grave Wenchuan earthquake, these fine works demonstrate the glorious course of China's 30 years' of reforms and opening-up, attracting large numbers every day.

The exhibition is scheduled for a fortnight and ends on November 15.
