DONGGUAN, China, Dec 1 (Bernama-AsiaNet) — The 2020 Dongguan Citizen Photography Week with the theme of “City – Quality”, held by the Information Office of Dongguan Municipality, has kicked off in Dongguan, China, with Friedrich Engels’ Hometown Wuppertal Photo Exhibition being one of the activities. The Exhibition works as a “window” for the citizens of Dongguan to learn about the sister city of Wuppertal and show the friendship, and a way to commemorate the bicentenary of the birth of the great philosopher Engels. It is also a great way to further strengthen exchanges and promote mutual understanding between the two cities.
“Welcome to Wuppertal, the hometown of Friedrich Engels! The city is located in the North Rhine-Westphalia state, western Germany, neighboring to Dusseldorf and Cologne. In 2015, Dongguan and Wuppertal became sister cities and they have carried out exchanges and cooperation in various fields including economy, culture, science and technology. How amazing is this city? Please take a ride on the unique 100-year-old suspension train (Schwebebahn) and enjoy a cultural journey through time and space”, as shown on the photo exhibition.
