The accident was the second fatal fall at the Cliffs of Moher within a three-month period last year.
In her deposition, Ms Huang said that Zhihan was walking ahead of her on the Cliffs of Moher trail when she lost sight of him.
Speaking through an interpreter at the inquest in Kilrush, County Clare, Ms Huang, wiping away tears, asked: "What exactly caused Zhihan to fall from the cliffs?"
Ms Tourgon explained she had been at the edge of the cliffs with her husband and two children, taking a selfie at the time.
