The search for explorers around us kicks off the Journey of Extreme Beauty

The Ultimate Beauty Explorers Team

    The Ultimate Beauty journey is led by Mr. Yu Yuntian, a council member of the China Photographers Association, an internationally renowned landscape photographer, and the creator of "Nine Songs." Yu Yuntian will guide two volunteers selected through the open call, Chen Zhiliang and Chen Jing, to the realm of Ultimate Beauty—Shangri-La. Over ten days, they will explore the vast landscapes, capture the beauty of nature through their lenses, and engage in a spiritual dialogue with the Creator, fulfilling the mission of finding those who have "bravely lived." It is reported that the "Search for Explorers Around Us" campaign, hosted by Explorers, has been held for its third consecutive year since 2011, with the core mission of discovering ordinary individuals who have bravely pursued their ideals. The campaign encourages people to awaken their courage and take action toward the dream realms in their hearts.
    This year’s event features notable differences from the previous two in terms of competition format, participant selection, and scale. By uploading brave photos and sharing personal messages on the official Explorers website or attending the open selection events in person, participants can qualify for the next round. Ultimately, out of sixteen finalists, two will earn the invaluable opportunity to embark on the journey. This year, volunteer selection places greater emphasis not only on physical fitness and outdoor experience but also on identifying those with courageous spirits. Their past experiences and unwavering pursuit of dreams are hoped to inspire more people to forge their own life paths.
    The fourth leg, the realm of Ultimate Sanctity—Kawagarbo, will be led by Mr. Li Shuankuo, a pioneering scientific researcher, cultural observer, and Editor-in-Chief of Chinese National Geography, who has ventured into the Arctic and Antarctic four times. Signing up now could give you the chance to join Mentor Li Shuankuo in visiting the world’s most beautiful snow mountains and exploring indigenous villages to discover cultures on the verge of being lost.
