Soon after its establishment, the society actively developed its activities. Members began to enter into international salon competitions. In 1992, the society collaborated with Sichuan Daily newspaper in Chengdu, China. This began the society's legendary travel photography program. In 1993, in response to invitation of Xinjiang Photographer Association, our members traveled to the border region of northwest China. Subsequently, society members visited the famous photography master, Mr. Fuli Chen and established the connection with the Photographic Society of Hong Kong.
