A photo exhibition commemorating the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the sister-city relationship between Shanghai and Dunedin was held at the iconic Yuyuan Garden in Huangpu District on Monday.

Since the establishment of their sisterhood in 1994, Shanghai and Dunedin have carried out extensive and in-depth cooperation in many fields, such as business, trade, technology, health care, culture, education, and landscaping, achieving fruitful results.

Consequently, they have established a deep friendship with each other and made progress in common development, contributing a great story of friendly exchanges between China and New Zealand.

In 2010, Yuyuan Garden in Shanghai and Lan Yuan, a classic Chinese garden in Dunedin designed and built by a Shanghai company, became "sister gardens," adding a new highlight to the friendship between the two cities.

Chinese and foreign guests jointly launched the photo exhibition, watched videos and viewed photos, recalling the wonderful moments in the 30 years of sister-city exchanges between Shanghai and Dunedin amidst the beautiful scenery and exchanges captured in the images.
