The 'Eyes on Yunnan' show, at the Second Hong Kong Web Symposium, was also a charity exercise, helping to raise money for minority tribes in China's Yunnan province.

The conference featured Internet researchers from Australia, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, the United States, China and Hong Kong.

The three-day Web symposium was organised by the Social Sciences Centre at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).

Tsinghua University of Beijing was also involved in the organising aspect. Pictures by 13 Hong Kong photographers were also on public display at the Hong Kong University's Rayson Huang Theatre for three days.
