In Xiangxi, some 40 ethnic groups including the Tujia, Miao, Yao and Dong live in harmony.

The photographers' lens captured their ancient towns, relics and scenes of folk singing and dancing.

Numerous festivals photographed include those for women, folk singing, dancing and the annual Lantern Festival with more than 200,000 participants.

The photographers' works also depict hometowns of author Shen Congwen, painter Huang Yongyu and Song Zuying, all household names in China who were born in the region

As well, the works show the development of the province resulting from a range of government initiatives.
