Welcome to the second episode of MEET CHINA. This episode will consist of three segments.
First, we delve into China's dominance in the synthetic diamond industry, where nearly half of the world's artificial diamonds are produced in Henan. We visit Zhengzhou Sanmill Institute, the birthplace of China's first artificial diamond, and interview staff from Zhongnan Diamond and experts from the International Gemological Institute (IGI) to uncover the secrets and stories behind Henan's diamond cultivation.
Next, we take you to Gulangyu Island in southeast China's Fujian Province, a top tourist destination known for its rich cultural blend of Christianity, Southeast Asian, and Minnan from southern Fujian. Our reporter explores local delicacies, popular tourist attractions, and even chats with a local music band to capture the island's unique charm.
Finally, we introduce you to the traditional Chinese wedding culture, which is experiencing a resurgence among young people. We will explore the cultural heritage and romanticism of traditional Chinese weddings, including the ancient ceremony, the Phoenix crown, and the ten miles of red makeup ceremony.
