After the awarding ceremony, the guests jointly unveiled the exhibition, officially announcing the launch of the four-campus tour of the 2025 "See the World, See China" photography exhibition.
The students' works were not only their records of beauty, but also a reflection of their understanding of the global cultural diversity and recognition of China's socio-economic development, with each frame of the works vivaciously showcasing campus culture, said one of the teacher visitors on the site.
The event received positive responses from students on all four campuses, with over 80 contest entries in total. Through expert review, outstanding works were selected for exhibition. Subsequent exhibitions will tour successively the University Town campus in Guangzhou, the Nanhai campus in Foshan, and the Binhai campus in Shanwei.

South China Normal University has a long tradition adhering to the "bringing in" and "going global" strategies, consistently providing students with broader communication platforms. The annual photography exhibition has not only built a platform for domestic and international students to showcase themselves and exchange ideas, but also injects new vitality in the diversified cultural development of the campus.
