Taiwan Social Media Influencers Join Yunnan Tour

On August 6-10, 2025, in Honghe Prefecture, Yunnan Province, the Taiwan Affairs Office of Yunnan People’s Government (雲南省人民政府台灣事務辦公室) and the Honghe Prefectural Taiwan Affairs Office (紅河州台辦) hosted an official media visit that brought together 17 Taiwanese new media practitioners and 8 mainland journalists in what organizers described as promoting “cross-strait family bonds” (兩岸一家親). The event, “Hearts Connected Across the Strait, Yunnan-Taiwan Together” (第三屆”情牽兩岸·滇台同行”), included visits and cultural activities in several local counties. Official reports cited participants like “new media person” Wu Minwen (吳旻文), who appears nowhere in Taiwan’s media or social media landscape, claiming that the initiative helps “more people on the island understand Honghe.” Another participant cited, Li Xiangming (李湘銘), was quoted as saying that traditional foods they tasted were “cultural symbols carrying deep history.”
