Ahead of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in September, CGTN produced a special six-episode series entitled "Hi China!" The program invited four guests from Africa to China to take an in-depth look at the vast country. They were divided into two teams and checked out six destinations, where they experienced firsthand some of the country's traditions, vitality and innovation.
In the fifth episode, Asi and Makki traveled north to the Inner Mongolian city of Ordos, where the nomadic community is adapting to a new way of life while preserving some of their old traditions. Meanwhile, Sibu and Tariro visited a tech company called Geekpark in Beijing. Inside, they got to see what a day in the life of a Chinese geek is really like. How different are people's lives in the sweeping grasslands compared with a megalopolis? How did our African guests feel about these contrasting lifestyles? Discover the full story in the video above.
The series aired daily on CGTN from Aug. 27 to Sept. 1 at 15:30-16:00 GMT (23:30-00:00 BJT). You can also watch the full episodes on CGTN's APP and YouTube page.
