The Tibet Tourism Bureau announced a $73,500 prize for an online influencer named @Liyaode, whose video showcasing a road trip from Chongqing to Lhasa gained 15 million likes within a day. The video, which highlighted Tibet's natural and cultural attractions, was created by hiring two taxi drivers to complete the 2,200 km journey over seven days. The Tibet Tourism Bureau praised the video for generating online traffic and promoting positive values aligned with their promotional goals.

Bias read (Center): The article presents the event as a promotional initiative by the Tibet Tourism Bureau, emphasizing its alignment with official goals. While the subject involves state-sponsored promotion of a region, the framing remains neutral, focusing on the outcome and official approval rather than taking a立场.

Why these scores (Factual 85 · Objective 90): Factuality is high as the article provides specific details like the amount awarded, number of likes, and the duration of the journey, aligning with cross-source consensus. Objectivity is strong as the tone remains neutral, presenting facts without emotional bias.
