The opening ceremony drew more than 100 guests, including representatives from the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), Chinese institutions in Spain, Spanish government officials and representatives from various sectors, Chinese business associations in Spain, and members of the media.

The "Ningbo in Light and Shadow" exhibition uses the art of photography to tell the story of Ningbo, a major eastern port city, and its history of international exchange; it stands as a model for promoting dialogue that moves beyond material exchange to spiritual engagement, highlighting interaction between East and West.

Since its inaugural launch in Cambodia in May 2024, the exhibition has toured 19 countries — including Bangladesh, the United States, Canada, and Benin — attracting nearly 460,000 visitors and receiving widespread acclaim. The official social media account of the Office of the Prime Minister of Cambodia liked and shared related posts twice, and the Chinese Embassy in Canada posted on its overseas account: "Ningbo has showcased its unparalleled beauty and charm to Canadian audiences. While the city's name means 'a peaceful sea with calm waves,' its passion for international exchange is as vibrant as splashing water."

"Ningbo's history, told through light, shadow and photography, symbolizes China's opening-up and stands as a testament to the city's journey alongside the world," said Marcel Leijzar, Deputy Director of the Department of International Development and Cooperation at the UN World Tourism Organization.
