International journalists, content creators and experts embarked on an immersive journey to experience a dynamic and innovative China.

Titled "Meet in Zhongyuan, Discover China through Henan — 2026 China Storyteller Partnerships Henan Tour", the five-day event brings together over 20 participants as they start their visit to Zhengzhou and Luoyang. The group will explore advanced manufacturing clusters, inland transportation hubs, UNESCO World Heritage Sites and time-honored ancient cities, and create content for global audiences.

Geoff Thompson, editor-in-chief of Luxembourg-based media G-Media Sarl, noted that his previous trip to Henan was an eye-opener, leaving him deeply impressed by the province's economy as well as cultural heritage.

"Two years later, I am thrilled to be back, and I am fascinated to see how the country, the province and the region have changed, including both Zhengzhou and Luoyang, and getting to know many fellow journalists and content creators," he said.
