A picture exhibition on Taiwan affairs opened Monday in southwest China's Chongqing Municipality. Some 500 pictures and replicas of historical records are on show.
The pictures show the development of the cross-Straits relations and are evidence that Taiwan has always been an inalienable part of China. They also provide basic information on the island's natural environment, geography and culture.
The exhibition is jointly held by the Taiwan Affairs Office and Information Office of the Chongqing Municipal People's Government. It will tour each of Chongqing's districts and counties later this month.
