The five-day event was organized by the Yushu government and China News Service, aiming to promote local tourism and showcase the achievements in rebuilding Yushu after the earthquake of 2010.

More than 20 photographers, mostly from news media across the country, took part in the forum. In addition to sharing experiences about aerial photography, they also visited tourist sites like Reshui (hot spring) Valley, Tibetan lamaseries and grasslands.
