A new Instagram feed offering an eclectic look at China has been set up by award-winning Getty Images photojournalist Kevin Frayer and AFP photographer Fred Dufour. The Eyes On China project is a collaboration between local and foreign photojournalists and documentary photographers living and working in China. Frayer says the goal is to give viewers "one place to go to get a very broad look at this country".

Unfortunately, these images won't be seen by many people with China, where Instagram is only accessible by using a VPN or proxy to break through the firewall. To be seen inside China, the feed would have to be published on platforms acceptable to the authorities, such as Weibo, but there are fears that this may dilute the nature of the project and open it up to censorship.

IBTimesUK presents a selection of photos by some of the feed's regular contributors. Follow @eyesonchinaproject on Instagram to see the latest images.

With no doubt, artist Ai Weiwei has become the most well known dissident in China, and probably the most influential contemporary artist from the country. This portrait is from his studio in Beijing, where he keeps coordinating and collaborating in international art projects everyday, and talking with foreign media to express his opinions about the regime. 艾未未毫无疑问是中国最有名的异见人士，也是中国最有影响力的当代艺术家之一。这个肖像拍摄于他在北京的工作室，在这里他每天和国际艺术家协调、合作，并接受外媒采访。 #China #Asia #photojournalism#photography #aiweiwei #artist #weiwei #beijing #matjaztancic

Morning Guangzhou! Two men were fishing in the pond of Xian Village which is in the center of Guangzhou city. There was a conflict between locals and real estate developers for more than 7 years because of the uneven compensation and the corruption of Xian village leaders. Xian village is an epitome of China's urbanization. 早安，广州！ 两位村民正在广州冼村里的池塘里捕鱼。冼村位于广州市中心CBD，因为村领导的腐败问题和拆迁价格的不确定，当地村民和房地产商已经争执了超过7年时间。冼村的改造是中国城市化的一个缩影。 Photo by @yuyang_liu_ @eyesonchinaproject is a new @instagram collaboration of photojournalists and documentary photographers living and working in mainland China.
