Some 40 reporters from 23 media outlets from the Chinese mainland, Taiwan and Hong Kong are participating this year, including ten media outlets from Taiwan. They will visit the Gansu Provincial Museum and Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang, enjoy beef noodles and watch equestrian performances.

Lin Wei-kang, a young vlogger from Taiwan, who participated in the interviews in Gansu, said that he would share the beauty of Gansu with people across the Strait in his video.

Visiting the Yellow River for the first time on Sunday night, he said: "It is the mother river of all the Chinese people. It is a must-visit place when you come to the mainland."
