-- Xinjiang through the lens of 100 Chinese and Foreign photographers A program named "Photography Tours of 100 Chinese and Foreign Photographers to Xinjiang in the Four Seasons," as an effort to capture images of Xinjiang through their eyes, was jointly sponsored by the State Council Information Office, the China Photographers Association and the Information Office of the Government of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. A total of 59 photographers from 22 foreign countries, including the US, Canada, Britain, France, Australia, Germany, Italy and Spain, were invited to take part in the program, along with over 40 photographers from Chinese mainland and Taiwan. They experienced the colorful lives of local residents. All these inspired them to record the different natural views and folk customs in the four seasons, its progress, as well as the solidarity of different ethnic groups, harmony and stability evident in the region from unique angles in the 300,000 photos they took. The photographers traveled over 200,000 km during their 57 days in Xinjiang's 15 prefectures and cities, visiting from January 9 to 21, June 5 to 18, August 4 to 19 and September 25 to October 8 in four groups.
