CCTV+:240 Hours: Unlock the Vibrant Charms of Guizhou, the "Park Province"
At dawn, stand on the viewing platform of Huangguoshu Waterfall. Watch the mighty silver cascade—carved by millennia of geological forces—plunge from the 77.8-meter-high cliff. Rainbows dance in the mist, interwoven with the resonant beat of bronze drums played by elderly Buyi people. By afternoon, drive to Libo's Zhangjiang River. Glide through the emerald valleys of Xiaoqikong on a bamboo raft, where the water shifts through secret hues from emerald to peacock blue with the play of light and shadow. Macaques occasionally leap between ancient trees and hanging vines along the banks.
As dusk settles, witness thousands of lights ignite in Xijiang Thousand Households Miao Village, like stars cascading into the valley. Learn the Lusheng dance with Miao girls and savor a bite of sour fish soup at the long-table feast—the tangy aroma, brewed from tomatoes and litsea cubeba, embodies the local wisdom of "nourishing the body with sourness." For the culturally inclined, visit Zhaoxing Dong Village to hear the mesmerizing a cappella Dong Grand Chorus. Watch embroiderers weave mountains, rivers, flowers, and birds into intricate patterns with flying fingertips. Or, sit quietly at the observation deck of the "China Sky Eye" in Pingtang, waiting for the radio telescope to capture cosmic pulses from billions of light-years away.
Within those 240 hours, you can marvel at the dove trees blooming like fluttering white doves amidst Fanjing Mountain's sea of clouds, and also discover a century-old braised pig's trotter on the stone-paved lanes of Qingyan Ancient Town. Bolstered by the visa exemption policy, services like multilingual guides and international payment options are continuously improving. This "natural air-conditioned province," blessed with refreshing summer temperatures around 23°C, extends a global invitation for a rendezvous with stunning landscapes and vibrant cultures. Every moment spent here becomes a vivid footnote to the saying: "Travel all over China, the most beautiful is colorful Guizhou."

The China Up Close Series, launched in 2024 by China Global Television Network (CGTN), continues to showcase innovative-driven transformation in China.

Alongside CGTN, they trained their cameras and notebooks on the region, aiming to capture Pinghu's distinctive appeal from multiple perspectives: technology-supported agriculture, rural revitalization, and industrial advances born from global collaboration. Their itinerary included the "Wildwoods & Creek" rural tourism project in Xincang Township, AIoT Agri-Tech Innovation Park run by Zhejiang Houji Intelligent Technology, the Rowing Town project, and aerospace manufacturer Hwahoo's facilities — each reflecting different aspects of Pinghu's development strategy.

Hullo Celebrates Two Years of Connecting Coasts, Fueled by 40% Year-Over-Year Growth in Passengers
NANAIMO, BC and VANCOUVER, BC, Aug. 14, 2025 /CNW/ - Two years after welcoming its first passengers on August 16, 2023, Hullo is celebrating a significant milestone, marking its second anniversary of transforming travel across the Georgia Strait. With an impressive 40% year-over-year growth, the fast-ferry service has cemented its role in making life easier and more connected for British Columbians. Hullo's mission from day one was to simplify travel, save people time, and give them the freedom to enjoy both sides of the coast. "Every day, we see how we're helping people see family and friends more often and have new adventures," says Sekhar Angepat, Founder and Chief Revenue Officer at Hullo. "Our goal wasn't to simply redistribute travellers from traditional services, but to grow the entire travel market. By creating new possibilities like same-day event trips, we're enabling journeys that people simply weren't making before. The stories we hear from our passengers confirm we're on the right track." The service has unlocked a variety of travel possibilities, changing the way people think about crossing the Strait. For eventgoers, Hullo has become a game-changer. With over 170 late-night event sailings to date, individuals can now catch their favourite sports teams and concerts in the city and travel back in comfort the same night, saving on costly hotel stays. Hullo's downtown-to-downtown connectivity has opened up new possibilities for a wide range of British Columbians. It has become a vital new option for over 50,000 families, enabling spontaneous, same-day adventures and making it even easier to connect with loved ones more frequently. This accessibility is also a key benefit for seniors seeking a seamless travel option and for hybrid workers who now have the freedom of island life with a fast, affordable link to their downtown offices. Furthermore, by integrating with local transit and TransLink, Hullo helps all riders reach their final destinations, including Vancouver International Airport (YVR), without the expense and hassle of a personal vehicle. Arriving in Nanaimo is just as easy, with on-site access to public transit, a complimentary Hullo shuttle bus, rental cars, bike share, and ride-hailing services like Uber now available. "The stories we hear from our passengers are the true measure of our success," says Ryan Dermody, Interim CEO. "When we hear about a grandmother being able to take her grandkids to the aquarium for a quick day trip, or professionals redefining their work week, we know we're making a real difference in people's lives every day. We're incredibly proud of the role we play in connecting communities and are more committed than ever to improving and expanding our service." Two years in, Hullo's reliability is clear. Since launch, the company has operated more than 95% of its planned sailings, and since September 2024, 90% of departures have gone out within 5 minutes. The company is building on this momentum as it continues to refine its operations for customers. Hullo is a modern, fast-ferry service providing a crucial link between Downtown Vancouver and Nanaimo. With a focus on speed, comfort, and reliability, Hullo is committed to transforming the way people travel across the Salish Sea.
