It is also available on social media platforms of CATV such as Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, WeChat Video, and Weibo.

Featuring three seasons and 120 episodes, the documentary offers Arab audiences a window into China’s vast landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and high-quality modernization, as well as the strong ties between China and Arab countries.
