"Focus on charming Zhaoyuan", the photography competition held on the municipal government's official WeChat account earlier this year, has shortlisted 100 works from 500 participants.

Photographs submitted to the competition all showed the charms of Zhaoyuan including its history, scenery, customs and local features.

The 100 shortlisted works were voted for by followers of the official Wechat account and a group of experts.

To enable people to enjoy the works, an exhibition will be held in Jiaqi Mountain Park from August 23 to 30.

Zhaoyuan is a county-level city within the prefecture-level city of Yantai, Shandong Province, located on the seashore of the Bohai Sea. It is well known for its abundant gold deposit and production. In 2002 Zhaoyuan was named "China's Gold City" by China's gold association.

Here are just a few images from stunning Zhaoyuan, as captured by its residents.
