HAIKOU, Dec. 12 -- A photo exhibition opened Monday in Haikou, capital of southern China's Hainan Province, to commemorate the 70th anniversary of China's recovery of the Nanhai Zhudao (South China SeaIslands).
Running from Monday to Sunday in Hainan Museum, the exhibition displays 150 groups of photos showing the recovery, development and other historical events of the South China Sea Islands over the last 70 years. Some of the photos are on public display for the first time.
In November and December 1946, China took over the Xisha and Nansha Islands in compliance with the Cairo Declaration and Potsdam Proclamation, which ended Japan's illegal occupation of the islands.
