Broadcasting from September to October on ST Zone, ST Novela E, and the StarTimes ON streaming platform, the series is designed to strengthen cultural understanding and build deeper ties between China, Africa, and the global community.
This season trails a diverse group of African and international participants, from creatives and entrepreneurs to adventurers, as they share authentic experiences of living, working, and exploring in modern-day China.
Through their lenses, viewers journey across the country's most compelling destinations: the peaceful beauty of Taizhou, the dynamic rhythm of Chongqing, the historical charm of Chongzhou, the coastal culture of Fujian, the ancient desert landscapes of Dunhuang, and the spiritual heights of Wudang Mountain.
By spotlighting regions beyond China's major cities, 'A Glimpse of China in the New Era' reveals the country's vast cultural diversity, evolving local lifestyles, and the sense of opportunity that continues to draw foreigners into China's rapid transformation.
'Our audience will enjoy powerful cross-cultural stories while gaining a deeper appreciation of China's cultural depth, seen through the relatable perspectives of foreigners living here,' said Lizzie LYU, Marketing Director of StarTimes.
'This documentary is both visually compelling and educational, a bridge for cultural exchange between Africa and China.'

With its immersive storytelling and striking imagery, 'A Glimpse of China in the New Era' celebrates the spirit of curiosity, collaboration, and friendship that connects people across borders.
