Local media from China's five autonomous regions - Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Guangxi, Ningxia and Tibet – have been arranging reciprocal tours by their media groups to give them a closer look at each other's local ethnic cultures and their conditions, starting with Inner Mongolia in August 2015, with help from its Beifang Xinbao news outlet, regional cyberspace administration, and the Mengniu Diary Co.

The idea was to shine a light on their culture to give the outside world a better understanding of it and the visiting reporters got a tour of Inner Mongolia's Xin Barag Left Banner, Oroqen Autonomous Banner, and the city of Genhe.

Then they went to Xinjiang's Toli county, Hoboksar Mongolian county, and the city of Turpan; to Tibet's city of Lhasa and Mainling county, Guangxi's city of Qinzhou and Dong county; and Ningxia's cities of Yinchuan and Shizuishan in the past 10 months, for a complete look at Mongolian, Uygur, Hui, Zhuang and Tibetan cultures and their history.

To give the tour more complete interaction there were online activities such as "culture heritage stories" and "representative cultural inheritor selection".
