To herald autumn, the season of harvest, CCTV is airing a new series that invites audiences to immerse themselves in the serene landscapes of China's countryside from September 7.

This season, the CCTV hosts of "Life among Mountains and Rivers" continue their mission to explore 24 stunning rural destinations across the nation with their companions, including actors and scholars.

Through hands-on experiences and engaging interactions, the team showcases the natural beauty, cultural charm, and thriving industries of Chinese villages in the new era.

Take Xiedaidang Village in Wuxi City, Jiangsu Province as a prime example of one of their destinations featured in this new show season. With the helpful guidance of local villagers, the TV team learned how to track soft-shelled turtles by looking for bubbles on the surface of the water. Amidst the hum of fishing lines, the team fumbled and hurried to reel in their rods, and many eventually succeeded in catching the turtles.

This educational yet entertaining experience not only showcases the wisdom inherent in traditional fishing and farming practices, but also highlights the value of the innovative new "fishing-tourism" business model.

Produced by China Media Group, the large-scale cultural and tourism exploration series "Life among Mountains and Rivers" continues to captivate viewers with its depictions of delicious local cuisine and the rustic charm of these villages nestled in the mountains, while offering a firsthand glimpse into the modern lives of the villagers.
