Mostafigur Rahman's eight selected photographs were displayed at the Kunming Dian-chi International Convention & Exhibition Center.
His photographs highlight different aspects of Bangladesh's nature, culture, people's way of life and social realities.
The exhibition is being seen as an important opportunity to present Bangladesh's diverse beauty and life to international audiences.
Speaking on behalf of foreign photographers at the opening ceremony, Muhammad Mostafigur Rahman thanked the Bangladesh consul general in Kunming, the Bangladesh Travel Writers Association and those involved in organising the exhibition for creating the opportunity to participate in such an international event.
He said such a major event centred on photography can further strengthen international cultural exchange, artistic practice and mutual understanding between the peoples of South Asia and China.
He also said the opportunity to represent Bangladesh on the same platform as photographers from different countries would remain a source of inspiration for young Bangladeshi photographers.
Mostafigur said the inclusion of his photographs in the international exhibition is expected to contribute to increasing the global recognition of Bangladesh's art and culture.
