(230617) -- KUNMING, June 17, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Above: This undated file photo provided by Chinese photographer Yin Xiaojun shows a view of the residences in the late Qing Dynasty in Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province. Below: This aerial photo taken on June 15, 2023 by Xinhua photographer Jiang Wenyao shows a view of the same location in Kunming, southwest China's Yunnan Province. French diplomat Auguste Francois came to Kunming in 1899. During his 5 years of stay in the city, He took thousands of photos with his 7 cameras. About a century later, with the efforts made by Chinese photographer Yin Xiaojun, some of these photos, together with pictures taken by others from 1896 to 1925, were published in China in 2017. From the contrast between these 12 old pictures of the landmarks in Kunming and photos taken by Xinhua photographers, people nowadays have a chance to get a glimpse of the changes taken place in the city during the past century.
