In 2005, a beautiful song named “Xinjiang is a Wonderful Place” was widely heard across China. “To both the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains you can see lush pasture; The Gobi Desert has been turned into fertile fields with melted snow irrigating farms...” The lyrics offer a true picture of Xinjiang.

In the 21st century and over this land accounting for 1/6 territory of China, the 25.85 million Xinjiang people have won a complete victory against poverty and made the historic achievement of building a moderately prosperous society in all respects. Standing over the top of Tianshan Mountains, one can have a beautiful panorama of drifting clouds, magnificent twilight and boundless forests below. The land of Xinjiang presents a vibrant view of prosperity.

Long attracted and with true affections, Chinese photographers have taken a large number of photos that capture the essence of Xinjiang. In this exhibition, 79 well-selected photos are divided into four themes, i.e., Pomegranate Blossoms, On the Road to Prosperity, Magnificent Scenery and A Better Life, showing the dramatic development of Xinjiang in recent years as well as the well-off life of the people there from multiple ethnic groups.

Let us follow the camera lens of the Chinese photographers and appreciate the picturesque homeland, colorful activities and enterprising spirit of the Xinjiang people. Let us join them in celebrating the growing prosperity of their homeland.
