“Across the World: The Grasslands” is the first season of the Walking the World documentary series. It showcases and narrates the stories of three major grasslands in China through the eyes of travelers and experiential explorers.

From the vast Hulunbuir Grassland in the east to the Yili Grassland in the west, from the high-altitude Naqu Grassland in the south to the Xilingol Grassland in the north, the series brings viewers into these landscapes through on-site exploration and firsthand experiences. With unique perspectives and personal storytelling, it vividly and authentically captures what is seen, heard, and felt on the grasslands.

Through these immersive journeys, the documentary reveals the distinctive lifestyles of grassland people and the natural beauty and vitality of the grassland environment.

“The Song of the Great Wall” takes the construction of the Great Wall National Cultural Park as its starting point and, from the height of the new era and the broad perspective of human civilization, re-examines the Great Wall through authoritative research findings and innovative cinematic language.

The documentary explores how this over-2,000-year-old human-made marvel came into being and has endured through time. It delves deeply into the Great Wall’s vital role and unique contribution in shaping the concept of “What Makes China” and the formation of Chinese civilization.

The film also authentically presents the background, vision, and progress of building the Great Wall National Cultural Park, while offering a glimpse into its magnificent future.

“This documentary adopts a “technical deconstruction + scenario-based presentation” narrative structure, capturing the R&D and practical applications of key segments in China’s new energy vehicle (NEV) industry—such as power batteries, complete vehicle manufacturing, intelligent systems, and ultra-fast charging and battery swapping—by several leading Chinese private enterprises. It presents the entire industry chain, showcasing the vigorous growth of China’s NEV sector and its internationally leading position.

Given the consistently high temperatures in many Arab countries, the film also focuses on how Chinese vehicles withstand the harsh “”grill-like”” climate conditions and are increasingly gaining favor among local consumers.

In its creative approach, the documentary emphasizes China’s determination in technological innovation and green transition. It responds to the national call for high-quality development and stronger international cooperation, while also aiming to counter bias and misinformation from some Western media outlets—enhancing understanding and recognition of China’s technological progress and environmental commitment within the Arab world. “

Traditional Chinese classical music, also known as Hua Xia Zheng Sheng in ancient times and referred to in modern days as Guoyue (national music), is generally seen as distinct from folk songs, regional music, and traditional opera. However, it has been deeply influenced by all these musical forms.

These ancient melodies are rooted in a long and rich historical and cultural heritage, and their traditional notations have been systematically passed down through generations. Even today, musicians still perform based on these ancient scores, and the music remains well-known and passionately appreciated by enthusiasts.

This documentary series will be presented in five episodes, each focusing on a different theme. Through five selected classical compositions, it will explore the music from five perspectives: the pursuit of grand compositions, emotional connections with landscapes, the mysteries of craftsmanship, folk heritage, and choices made at historical crossroads.

A Chinese song says: “Our Xinjiang is a wonderful place, where the wind blows and the grass bends to reveal cattle and sheep, and grapes and melons are sweet beyond compare.”

Xinjiang’s unique geography and climate have produced distinctive local products, bringing rare sweetness, delicious flavors, and magnificent scenery to this land. Turpan, Hotan, Aksu, Altay… across the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, songs and dances fill the air as people of all ethnic groups work with their own hands to create a beautiful life.
