[]
Before we go, let's take a look at what's trending across China. On a dark country road in southwest China's Yunnan Province, a driver lights up the way for a young child who's out riding his bicycle. At the end of the twenty-minute journey, he gets off his bike and bows to the driver. The video went viral on China's biggest microblogging site, Weibo, with netizens hailing the exquisite manners of both the driver and the boy.
An extremely-rare brown giant panda was recently spotted in northwest China's Shaanxi Province, moving his way up a slope to a forest of bamboo. This particular breed has only ever been seen in the Qinling Mountains, one of the five mountain regions where pandas still live in the wild. Its brown and white patterns are very distinctive. Experts are still trying to understand their evolution.
Remember McDonald's Szechuan Sauce, which caused a frenzy in the U.S. last year? The limited edition sauce auctioned for more than 50 thousand dollars on eBay. Well, it arrived in China on Wednesday, but it's already getting poor reviews. Some say it actually tastes more like Japan's Teriyaki sauce, a mix of sweetness and saltiness. What do they prefer instead? It has to be Lao Gan Ma, or "Old God Mother". The 70-year-old founder is dubbed "the hottest woman in China".
