About CGTN Nature

North China's Shanxi Province lies quietly on the Loess Plateau, the middle reach of the Yellow River, China's mother river. The Yellow River has been nourishing the vast tract of land for thousands of years, not only giving birth to the rich Chinese culture and numerous wild lives, but also creating natural wonders. The 10-episode "Yellow River Series" presents the region's unique terrain and native wild lives.
