Beautiful peaks and forests, a panoramic view from the air. The second Aerial Wulingyuan Photography Competition came to a successful conclusion recently. The competition was launched from February 25 to December 31, 2017. It attracted more than 1,500 photography enthusiasts to participate and submitted more than 5,000 works. The beautiful scenery of the peaks and forests recorded from the perspective of these high-altitude shots showed the world a "different Zhangjiajie".
During the event, photography enthusiasts from all over the world brought aerial photography equipment to the real "Pandora" for on-the-spot experience. They recorded Zhangjiajie's four-season scenery and cultural customs from a high altitude. Through photography, they built a bridge between Zhangjiajie and other parts of the world, allowing more domestic and foreign tourists to see the stunning beauty of Zhangjiajie's landforms photographed from above.
Compared with the first Aerial Photography Competition, the second Aerial Wulingyuan Photography Competition added video awards, and the total prize amount increased from 82,000 yuan to 130,000 yuan, effectively mobilizing the enthusiasm of aerial photography enthusiasts from all over the world for creation. During the competition, the organizers also organized and carried out aerial photography activities such as "Roaming between Heaven and Earth, Enchantingly Beautiful Wulingyuan". At the same time, the organizer promptly displayed the entries to the outside world through various channels such as the website, Weibo, and WeChat, which greatly enhanced the influence of the event.

An aerial photography enthusiast who participated in the competition twice commented that Wulingyuan organically connected multiple elements such as photography and tourism through aerial photography. It not only collected a large number of classic aerial photography works for Zhangjiajie, but also helped promote Zhangjiajie’s brand image through the dissemination of aerial photography works on various platforms.
Peng Bin, director of the Tourism and Foreign Affairs Bureau of Wulingyuan District, said that Wulingyuan showed the most beautiful and unique Wulingyuan, the core scenic spot of Zhangjiajie, from an aerial perspective, leading a new trend in various photography competitions. In the future, more unexpected and beautiful scenery of Wulingyuan will be discovered and explored through continued aerial photography competitions, and the "Aerial Photography of Wulingyuan" will be built into an international photography competition brand. In the near future, the second aerial photography competition will organize selections, which will be announced to the public as soon as possible.
The Second Aerial Wulingyuan Photography Competition is sponsored by Hunan Daily, the People's Government of Wulingyuan District of Zhangjiajie City, Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan Scenic Area and National Forest Park Administration, and hosted by the News Image Center of Hunan Daily and the Tourism and Foreign Affairs Bureau of Wulingyuan District of Zhangjiajie City.
