International media tours in China

Overview

China has initiated a series of international media and content creator tours designed to showcase regional development, culture, and technological innovation. In late August 2026, delegations from 13 countries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany, began tours in Xinjiang and Chongqing. The Xinjiang portion focused on Silk Road culture and rural revitalization, while the Chongqing tour highlighted karst landscapes and smart factories.

In mid-September 2026, the focus shifted to the Tacheng region of Xinjiang with a tour themed ‘A Tribute to the Land.’ This seven-day program involved more than 20 influencers and bloggers from 14 countries. Participants utilized a ‘mystery box’ format to determine their travel routes through northwestern Xinjiang, producing short videos, photo essays, and live streams for international and domestic social media platforms.
